Reading progress update: I've read 100%.
Yikes, I loved Under The Tuscan Sun and recalling buy the second and third book that Mayes put out and even read A Year in the World too. I thought I could do a re-read since this was on my Kindle and I am trying not to buy new books.
This was not good. It's rambling and nothing hangs together at all. Mayes jumps around a lot and most of the book is her musings of people, food, and her hunt for some artist (I think) from eons ago. There is very little dialogue between people in the book which drove me up the wall.
There is also a weird aside where she goes into how America (San Francisco) is more dangerous than Italy, and then she recounts how she and her husband were threatened while at Bramasole. So that whole section was just odd.
The only thing that was really good were the recipes.
