Story4 out of 5 stars 67
Frances Mayes offers her listeners 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.

What did you like best about Every Day in Tuscany? What did you like least?
I have read the book and enjoyed it and was looking forward to listening to it at leisure. However after a couple of chapters I had to give up. How somebody who had spent considerable time in italy during the past 20 years could have such terrible pronunciation is beyoud me. It became irritating.
Would you be willing to try another book from Frances Mayes? Why or why not?
Yes, provided no Italian was involved.
Would you be willing to try another one of Frances Mayes’s performances?
Possibly.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Yes.
Any additional comments?
Must be more careful in the future. Even if it is a good storey the narrator can kill it.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
