Buying a villa in the spectacular Italian countryside is a wonderful fantasy -- even if 17 rooms and a garden in need of immediate loving care are included in the asking price. Frances Mayes -- gourmet cook, widely published travel writer, and poet -- changed her life by doing just that. Sprinkled liberally with delicious recipes for inspired Italian dishes, amusing anecdotes about the risks of being your own contractor, and a savvy traveler's reminiscences, Under the Tuscan Sun is Mayes's enchanting account of her love affair with Tuscany: of scouring the neighborhood for the perfect panettone and the perfect plumber; of mornings spent cultivating her garden, and afternoons spent enjoying its fruits in leisurely lunches on the terrace; of jaunts through the hill towns in search of renowned wines; and the renewal not only of a house, but also of the spirit. An unusual memoir that combines the appeal of M. F.K. Fisher, Peter Mayle, and Martha Stewart, Under the Tuscan Sun is a feast for the senses.

很久以前就在图书馆借过这两本书，《艳阳下》里面浓烈的阳光和《甜美生活》的菜谱把向往意大利南部的我深深吸引住了。以至于从来记性不好的我，在看过书很久以后，还记得作者写到她有一天从床上醒来，听见了“太阳的呼声”。

要追溯对意大利热爱的根源最早能让我想到2002年世界杯，在那之前对它似乎并没有太多深刻印象。听见H和Y讲足球和帅哥，讲豪情肆意的绿茵场，于是我便毫无预知地投入到了江湖侠客式的浪漫主义情怀里。后来因为几部电影彻底沦陷了，其中一部就是由这本随笔改编而来，它讲述了一个...
