Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Now in paperback, the #1 San Francisco Chronicle bestseller that is an enchanting and lyrical look at the life, the traditions, and the cuisine of Tuscany, in the spirit of Peter Mayle's A Year in Provence.Frances Mayes entered a wondrous new world when she began restoring an abandoned villa in the spectacular Tuscan countryside. There were unexpected treasures at every turn: faded frescos beneath the whitewash in her dining room, a vineyard under wildly overgrown brambles in the garden, and, in the nearby hill towns, vibrant markets and delightful people. In Under the Tuscan Sun, she brings the lyrical voice of a poet, the eye of a seasoned traveler, and the discerning palate of a cook and food writer to invite readers to explore the pleasures of Italian life and to feast at her table.
Review:
"[A] romance for people who'd rather read M.F.K. Fisher than Barbara Cartland....Casual and conversational, her chapters are filled with craftsmen and cooks, with exploratory jaunts into the countryside--but what they all boil down to is an intense celebration of what she calls 'the voluptuousness of Italian life'....Despite a few shadows, Ms. Mayes's mood is usually sunny, warmed by her generosity."
Alida Becker, New York Times Book Review, 11/17/1996
Review:"Somehow, this is a narrative at once joyful and full of common sense, a balance that few other writers have struck so perfectly. It's...honest and true, and vividly captures a sense of place."
Brian St. Pierre, San Francisco Chronicle, 11/10/1996

Book Description: Broadway. 1 Paperback(s), 1997. soft. Book Condition: New. (A New York Times Notable Book of 1997) Doing for Tuscany what Peter Mayle did for Provence, Frances Mayes here discovers the tastes and pleasures of a foreign country, and describes them here with gusto and passion—and recipes. Restoring an abandoned villa in the spectacular Tuscan countryside, she finds unexpected treasures at every turn: faded frescoes beneath the whitewash in her dining room, a vineyard under wildly overgrown brambles in the garden, and, in the nearby hill towns, vibrant markets and delightful people. "An intense celebration of what [Mayes] calls 'the voluptuousness of Italian life' . the kind of [book] you'd tuck into a picnic basket on an August day . or better yet, keep handy on the bedside table in the depths of January."—NYTBR"Mayes [has] perfect vision. I do not doubt that centuries from now, whoever lives in Bramasole will one day uncover bits of pottery used at Mayes' table. She has, by the sweat of her brow and the strength of her vision, become a layer in the history of this place."—LATimes 291.
