    Extractions: With Under The Tuscan Sun, Frances Mayes made us all fall in love with Tuscany, its landscapes and its lifestyles. With Bella Tuscany, she gives us a companion volume to turn that affair into a long term relationship. Taking advantage of a sabbatical from her academic life in San Francisco, Mayes experiences the pleasures of primavera, an Italian spring, in her beloved house of Bramasole near the town of Cortona. The hills are green with fresh spurts of growth, nature's regenerative powers are everywhere to be seen, the green of the plants is reflected in the green of her garden lizards, and Mayes feels the power of green surge up within her as she connects deeply with her adopted land, a condition she identifies as happiness.

    Extractions: Frances Mayes's third book on Italy, In Tuscany, is another tour de force. by Patricia Morris Buckley For the first time in almost three decades, author and teacher Frances Mayes did not prepare her lesson plans this year. Instead, she was still in Italy, writing in the 200-year-old villa she's spent the last decade renovating. Of course, most readers of Mayes's work are very familiar with Bramsole, the summer home Mayes bought with her then-boyfriend, now-husband, Edward Kleinschmidt Mayes. In her 1996 memoir, Under the Tuscan Sun, Mayes's melodic prose told of her efforts to restore the house and soak in the Italian culture she had come to cherish. The overwhelming success of that book and the second, Bella Tuscany, allowed her to quit her teaching position at San Francisco State University in June.

Books When last we left Frances and Ed, they had spent the summer dealing with leaks, mold, crumbling plaster, tumbling stone terraces and archaic bathrooms. That was “Under the Tuscan Sun.” Now it’s spring in Italy, the pear trees are turning from flower to leaf, rocky hillsides sprout glossy green ferns, wet grasses shine, and Frances and Ed are back at Bramasole. The old well’s pump dies, the roof leaks, two bathrooms must be redone, but that seems minor. There is time to fly down to Sicily, drive to villages they’ve never seen, and bask in the sweet life that is Italy. “Under the Tuscan Sun” got a little tiresome, despite Mayes’ always-lyrical writing and beautiful descriptions. So many problems with the old house! How could they keep pouring so much money and so much energy into that ancient tumble-down place?

    http://www.bookreporter.com/reviews/0767905350.asp
    
    Extractions: ISBN: 0767905350 In this luscious coffee table book, fans of the memoirs UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN and BELLA TUSCANY may have a dream come true. After reading about the Tuscan farmhouse renovated by Frances and Edward Mayes and the colorful village of Cortona near their summer home, as well as salivating over descriptions of sun-ripened tomatoes or dusky porcini served with mozzarella, fresh herbs, and crusty loaves of fresh bread, we can now transport ourselves even more fully into the picturesque landscape of Tuscany. IN TUSCANY is divided into distinct sections, each containing photographs, essays and anecdotes, and original recipes, all serving to bring the beauty and singularity of Tuscany into sharp relief. La Piazza concentrates on the heart of the village, where every day outdoor markets thrive and people congregate, while La Festa highlights the beauty and excitement of bustling festivals and celebrations. The field - Il Campo - contrasts the natural beauty of the Tuscan countryside with the human designed coziness of La Cucina, the kitchen. La Bellezza means "the beauty," all so apparent in this section of expansive loveliness. Insightful narrative, breathtaking photography, and mouthwatering recipes collaborate to elevate armchair traveling to dizzying new heights in this luminous new offering by Frances Mayes, Edward Mayes, and photographer Bob Krist. IN TUSCANY is more than a book; it's food for all the senses.

    UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN frances mayes Broadway Books Nonfiction ISBN 0767900383. francesmayes discovers Tuscany the hard way by falling in love.  
    http://www.bookreporter.com/reviews/0767900383.asp
    
    Extractions: ISBN: 0767900383 There have been so many books by expats singing the praises of their new "homes" abroad - the unhurried pace of Provence, the frenetic excitement of Paris, the burgeoning passion of Rome - that we are often tempted to turn up our noses at these latter-day explorers. We roll our eyes at their quaint anecdotes, charming discoveries, life-altering realizations. We are NOT impressed. We've seen this all before. In short, we are jaded. The "been there, done that" mentality is certainly one to eschew for UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN. This is a gem of a book if there ever was one - part Money Pit, part every Fellini film you've ever watched, part Bob Vila and his trusty sidekick Norm, part Marcella Hazan cookbook and part insider's vacation guide. Here Mayes explores every nook and cranny of Italian life, custom and soul. Frances Mayes discovers Tuscany the hard way - by falling in love. The object of her affections happens to be an abandoned villa - making the loving all the harder. When there is no heat, weeds are growing out of every crack and corner, and the all-important well dries out - how can you continue to love unconditionally? Even a doting mother might consider jumping ship. Not Mayes, who even in the face of the worst of it, rolls up her sleeves and keeps going. Reading UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN makes you feel like you you have shared a slice of that devoted life - toiled in the fields with the author, been aghast at the work ahead of you and delighted at its beatific outcome.

80. The Fine Print-Frances Mayes
    (September 28, 2002) frances mayes has probably done more to promote tourism inthe Tuscan region of Italy than all the bureaucrats and advertising agencies  
    http://www.wpln.org/fineprint/fineprint2002/fineprint092802.html
    
    Extractions: Frances Mayes has probably done more to promote tourism in the Tuscan region of Italy than all the bureaucrats and advertising agencies have in the last one hundred years. Her first memoir, "Under the Tuscan Sun," chronicled the trials and triumphs of renovating an ancient Tuscan villa, called Bramasole, near the town of Cortona. "Under the Tuscan Sun" became a huge bestseller, which (incidentally) allowed Frances and her husband, Ed, to do much more extensive renovations to Bramasole than they could initially afford.
