Description
To spend a year in Italy, drink wine, travel, and meet new friends. This is the spontaneous decision of a trio of women who refuse to simply live out their days. They pool their savings and rent an old stone house in Tuscany. Their adventures as enthusiastic travelers are narrated by their neighbor, an American writer who is working on a biography of her close friend in the Tuscan countryside. The arrival of the new residents pulls her away from her work, and she becomes a guide through their Tuscan adventure. All three women eagerly dive into Italian life and set out to rediscover long-forgotten passions – with radical and unpredictable results. Frances Mayes, after guides, cookbooks, and personal narratives, has written a novel that, like her previous books, tells of experiences in the kitchen and the beauties of Italy while offering tips on sights, cities, food, and drink. In this novel, she has also managed to capture not only the scent of Italian markets and the taste of good wine but also the strength of female friendship and the desire for life itself.
