Frances Mayes is a Georgian who now lives in Cortona, Italy, and San Francisco, California. She has written five books of poetry and is chair of the creative writing department at San Francisco State University.
Buying a villa in the spectacular Italian countryside is a wonderful fantasy -- even if 17 rooms and a garden in need of immediate loving care are included in the asking price. Frances Mayes -- gourmet cook, widely published travel writer, and poet -- changed her life by doing just that. Sprinkled liberally with delicious recipes for inspired Italian dishes, amusing anecdotes about the risks of being your own contractor, and a savvy traveler's reminiscences, Under the Tuscan Sun is Mayes's enchanting account of her love affair with Tuscany: of scouring the neighborhood for the perfect panettone and the perfect plumber; of mornings spent cultivating her garden, and afternoons spent enjoying its fruits in leisurely lunches on the terrace; of jaunts through the hill towns in search of renowned wines; and the renewal not only of a house, but also of the spirit. An unusual memoir that combines the appeal of M. F.K. Fisher, Peter Mayle, and Martha Stewart, Under the Tuscan Sun is a feast for the senses.

评分这本治愈系的书,让生活在都市的人心驰神往。书中从没看似贴心的跟你讲什么道理,做什么心理辅导。就只是描述。一些家里的琐事,重新修葺房屋,如何装修,如何种田,如何收获,如何吃,如何睡,如何过日子。 就这么简单的书,怎么就“治愈 ”了呢。 因为生活本该如此啊。 在我...
评分著名的连岳说过:“每次我最爱引用这句话‘你要按你所想的去生活,否则,你迟早会按你生活的去想’,但总有人说,你想就能行吗?中国这种地方太多无奈!请注意,这类人就是那类‘迟早按你生活去想’的例证。尖锐敏感如连岳这样的文字工作者都能没有放弃追求理想梦想、过上属于...
