À propos de cet audio

 The story of four American strangers who bond in Italy and change their lives over the course of an exceptional year, from the bestselling author of Under the Tuscan Sun.

Don’t miss Frances Mayes in PBS’s Dream of Italy: Tuscan Sun Special!

She watches from her terrazza as the three American women carry their luggage into the stone villa down the hill. Who are they, and what brings them to this Tuscan village so far from home? An expat herself and with her own unfinished story, she can’t help but question: will they find what they came for?

Kit Raine, an American writer living in Tuscany, is working on a biography of her close friend, a complex woman who continues to cast a shadow on Kit’s own life. Her work is waylaid by the arrival of three women—Julia, Camille, and Susan—all of whom have launched a recent and spontaneous friendship that will uproot them completely and redirect their lives. Susan, the most adventurous of the three, has enticed them to subvert expectations of staid retirement by taking a lease on a big, beautiful house in Tuscany. Though novices in a foreign culture, their renewed sense of adventure imbues each of them with a bright sense of bravery, a gusto for life, and a fierce determination to thrive. But how? With Kit’s friendship and guidance, the three friends launch themselves into Italian life, pursuing passions long-forgotten—and with drastic and unforeseeable results.

I was transported by the detailed descriptions of the town, the wines, the gardens, the food (oh, the food!), the villa....sigh.

Although I found the story a little hard to get into at first, once I relaxed into the languid story-telling style I found myself longing enviously to be either one of the three women or at least an ex-pat member of their growing circle of friends. Loved this and will listen again.

Perfect for vicarious Italian adventures and exploration.

This book could benefit from editing by 1/3. Knowing when enough is more than enough is not Ms. Mayes' gift.

Exhaustive detail is exhausting
