This book is a true example of the phrase ‘the home is where the heart is’, when Frances and her husband Ed decided to experience the Tuscan countryside, cuisine, locality and culture by staying there and restoring an abandoned villa but had to go through various hurdles to be able to complete the renovation. Frances even tries her hand at traditional Italian cooking and uses beautiful prose to describe their enchanting stay.
