I love Italy. This book was a drag. A rich American buys a beautiful historic house and makes it significantly less historic. Blah blah blah. This was such a bore. Just watch the movie if only for Sandra Oh and Kate Walsh and Rory’s dad from Gilmore Girls

The perfect vacation read! I wished Frances Mayes leaned into the idea of place a bit more. The book ended with her reflections on place and religion and culture.

“I realized how you grow into the place you recognize as yours, only yours.”

Mayes writes beautiful prose.

This booked reeked of white privelege.
