This wishlist birthday present has now arrived in Vancouver, WA. Thank you so much for thinking of my on my birthday! Looking forward to reading it!

This is book #3 of my Quarantine reading. I have so many books on my TBR shelf, I'm glad I'm finally getting some time to work my way through them. Anyhow, this book was just ok for. It took me a very long time to figure out that the Luca that kept being mentioned was an artist in Italy. It didn't help that I had to keep putting the book down but once I realized that, it helped. The descriptions of all the food were amazing, but it was just a slow read for me.

This book is finally traveling! It is on its way to another bookcrosser through the mail. Happy travels little book!

Thanks for sending - I do enjoy Frances Mayes' books - heard her talk at a book signing in Seattle years ago. I'm not sure I've read this one yet - adding to MT TBR

From GoodReads:
In this sequel to her New York Times bestsellers Under the Tuscan Sun and Bella Tuscany, the celebrated "bard of Tuscany" (New York Times) lyrically chronicles her continuing, two decades-long love affair with Tuscany's people, art, cuisine, and lifestyle.
Frances Mayes offers her readers a deeply personal memoir of her present-day life in Tuscany, encompassing both the changes she has experienced since Under the Tuscan Sun and Bella Tuscany appeared, and sensuous, evocative reflections on the timeless beauty and vivid pleasures of Italian life. Among the themes Mayes explores are how her experience of Tuscany dramatically expanded when she renovated and became a part-time resident of a 13th century house with a stone roof in the mountains above Cortona, how life in the mountains introduced her to a "wilder" side of Tuscany--and with it a lively engagement with Tuscany's mountain people. Throughout, she reveals the concrete joys of life in her adopted hill town, with particular attention to life in the piazza, the art of Luca Signorelli (Renaissance painter from Cortona), and the pastoral pleasures of feasting from her garden.Moving always toward a deeper engagement, Mayes writes of Tuscan icons that have become for her storehouses of memory, of crucible moments from which bigger ideas emerged, and of the writing life she has enjoyed in the room where Under the Tuscan Sun began.
With more on the pleasures of life at Bramasole, the delights and challenges of living in Italy day-to-day and favorite recipes, Every Day in Tuscany is a passionate and inviting account of the richness and complexity of Italian life."
