"Irresistible...a sensous book for a sensous countryside." "--Minneapolis Star-Tribune"
"An intense celebration of what [Mayes] calls 'the voluptuousness of Italian life'." "--The New York Times Book Review"
"Armchair travel at its most enticing." "--Booklist"
"Mayes [has] perfect vision." "--Los Angeles Times"
What a fantastic book. I was lucky enough to see the film on a flight and enjoyed it so much that I ended up buying the book at the airport. Very well written and probably the best account of taking a chance at a new life that I have read in a long while. Tuscany is so appealing as are the people portrayed in this wonderful, uplifting story. I have heard there is a sequel so will be rushing out to find it!
This is one of the best book ever written! I loved it! My mum read both books and bought the movie. After I saw the film I read the books straight away and quickly fell in love with Italy. This book will have you wanting to go straight to Tuscany and experience even one tenth of the amazing things that you'll read about in this book.
