Under the Tuscan Sun

Under the Tuscan Sun, a serendipitous affair with rural Italy, finds Frances Mayes, a San Francisco-based professor and writer, buying a dilapidated villa on a whim during a post-divorce sojourn in Tuscany. As she restores the property, the rolling hills and rustic charm of the region become a balm for her soul, weaving together the threads of her fractured life into a tapestry of renewal and unexpected joy.
