A YEAR IN THE WORLD by Frances Mayes

910.4
May
Frances Mayes leaves her Tuscan home to travel.. Her journeys are primarily in the Mediterranean area and are as beautifully described as her home in Cortona has been in her previous bestselling books. She and her husband Ed like Portugal, Naples, Sicily, Capri, and the coast of Turkey. They are less enthusiastic about Fex, Morocco, where Ed succumbs to food poisoning. But even when adversity strikes, the journeys are fascinating.

Mayes' Under the Tuscan Sun is an honest and humorous look at her life as a traveler, cook and writer. Rich with detail and descriptions. I look forward to reading A Year In The World.
