by Ewesfulewe Very pleasant read.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. No, it does not have a plot, and it does not have exciting, sweep you off of your feet type moments. If that is what you are seeking, keep looking. What is does have is an American's view of another country and some of the delights and headaches of life, anywhere. Any one who has owned an old house can understand what the author is going through and why she persisted. Take it for what it is and not for what it isn't and just enjoy the trip.

Tedious. For people who have never traveled. The movie is much better but it has nothing to do with the book except the name.

I am not a reader but when it is good I love to read. And Under The Tuscan Sun sucked! Like someone already said it is hardly Italian and way more American. I am half Italian and I know how things go.. and this lady had no plot what so ever!

As I read, I was transported to the warm balcony, overlooking the ancient, lusch, Tuscan country side. It did what a great book is supposed to do. Transport you.

Cortona, Tuscany, was a tranquil spot before Frances Mayes arrived there. Her pizza recipe in her book "Under The Tuscan Sun" is tasteless and so unlike Italian cuisine. How typical of an American to ruin it all. Too bad that the 298 pages could have been condensed to maximum of 50.
