Written & narrated by Frances Mayes - Abridged Nonfiction - 4 CASSETTES - 6 hours

Publisher, Bantam Doubleday Dell (April 1999)

In this follow-up to her bestselling account of her love affair with Tuscany, Mayes carries forward the concerns and people of Under the Tuscan Sun, while exploring new themes: gardening, travel throughout Italy, deepening friendships with Italians, and primavera, a new season. Interweaving sections on language, art, food, and wine with her journeys in Italy, this audio captures what Mayes has called "the voluptuousness of Italian life" in the lyrical, sensuous style that distinguishes her previous work.
