Description

When Frances decides to buy a house in Italy, everyone thinks she's crazy. She has a nice home and a settled life as a university professor in America. But Frances is captivated by the Italian countryside and ancient history, and when she spies the 200-year-old villa nestled in the heart of Tuscany, she decides it's the home of her dreams. Restoring the house, working in the garden, preparing delicious food - all fill her days with joy and satisfaction.

The author takes us on a fascinating and emotional journey through the most beautiful parts of Tuscany. She presents us with curious facts about the history, architecture and art of this area. She introduces us to the peculiarities of the local color, starting with the delicious food (made from fresh ingredients), the aromatic coffee (drank in one gulp), the way Italians communicate (with lots of handshaking), their terrible driving (which makes your hair stand on end) and their cordial, friendly demeanor.

The Book „Under the sky of Tuscany“ immerses us in the idyllic atmosphere of the Italian countryside and fills us with nostalgia for the simple life, the small joys and the full communion with the land and nature.

Francis Mays is a renowned poet, connoisseur of fine cuisine and bestselling author whose books have been translated into more than 40 languages. Her book was made into the famous film of the same name starring Diane Lane.
