3.0

This is the first book I've read where I actually wanted to scrap my life and move away to another country and live simply. While this book is the basis of the movie "Under the Tuscan Sun", I would have to say that I liked the movie more. I enjoyed the parts where the author described the renovations and every day life of her and her partner in Tuscany. I could have done without the chapters of every minute detail of the local churches and buildings. Those were extremely boring to me. Now, granted, had I seen the churches and buildings in person...I would have loved it.

I loved that the author included a lot of her recipes in the book. I should really get the book back out of the library and copy some of those recipes. They were great!
