UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN

Frances Mayes

At Home in Italy

Widely published poet, gourmet chef, and travel writer, Frances Mayes opens the door to a voluptuous new world when she buys and restores an abandoned villa in the Tuscan countryside. What she shares with her readers is a feast for the senses as she explores the pastoral Italian landscape, history and cuisine. In sensuous and evocative language, she brings the reader along as she discovers the beauty and simplicity of life in Italy.

Doing for Tuscany what M.F.K. Fisher and Peter Mayle did for Provence, Mayes writes about the tastes and pleasures of a foreign country with gusto and passion. A celebration of the extraordinary quality of life in Tuscany, UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN is a feast for all the senses.

The book was a #1 New York Times bestseller and remained on the list for nearly three years. It was also made into a movie in 2003 starring Diane Lane. It has been translated into twenty-six languages. To celebrate, Crown will publish a commemorative edition in September 2016 with a new cover, a new afterword, and two of the author's favorite recipes.
