Book Reviews
Even fans of Mayes’s Under the Tuscan Sun may have trouble with her latest, a trifle about three American women who impulsively rent a house in Tuscany for a year.… [F]eels like a movie, but not an especially memorable one.
Publishers Weekly


Fans will be delighted that Mayes again puts them Under the Tuscan Sun, where American writer Kit Raine is now living…. Sun and fun, food and friendship—you can’t go wrong.
Library Journal


The pleasurable descriptions of colors and tastes and various Italian tourist destinations, plus… the handmade paper made by the paper-making character, etc., are enough to keep this party going all year long.
