About Frances Mayes

Twenty years ago in Under the Tuscan Sun, Frances Mayes introduced readers to a wondrous new world when she bought and restored an abandoned villa in the spectacular Tuscan countryside. With her signature evocative language and vivid sensory descriptions, she described the beauty and simplicity of life in Italy, inspiring generations to embark on their own journeys–whether that be flying to a foreign country in search of themselves, tasting one of the book’s dozens of delicious seasonal recipes, or simply engaging in the armchair travel for which Frances’s writings are famous. Now, with a new afterword from the Bard of Tuscany herself, a whole new crop of readers is poised to discover the tastes and passions of Italian living in the 20th-anniversary edition.

Frances Mayes’ works include See You in the Piazza, Frances Mayes Always Italy, Women in Sunlight, Under Magnolia, The Tuscan Sun Cookbook, Every Day in Tuscany, A Year in the World, Bringing Tuscany Home, Swan, In Tuscany, Bella Tuscany, and Under the Tuscan Sun. 

We look forward to hosting you for this one-of-a-kind event. Purchase your tickets before it is too late.
