Synopsis
Frances Mayes, a gourmet cook, travel writer, and poet, bought herself a crumbling 17-room villa in the Italian countryside. It changed her life and renewed her spirit. Her immensely appealing chronicle of the experience, and of her romantic relationship with the man she eventually married, comes complete with recipes from the region. The book became a bestseller and was made into a 2003 movie starring Diane Lane.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "I am about to buy a house in a foreign country. A house with the beautiful name of Bramasole."
Industry Reviews
"[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."
New York Times Book Review - Alida Becker (11/17/1996)
"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."
San Francisco Chronicle - Brian St. Pierre (11/10/1996)
