Frances Mayes was the author--
I had a mixed reaction to this book-- it was like taking a relaxing vacation that went on too long. It did make me very hungry for fresh vegetables and good olive oil. Partly this was a jealous reaction that she was there and I wasn't and never will be, but partly I felt a certain snobbishness in her relationship with Tuscany. SHe did give wonderful descriptions of the country side and the villa.
