Frances, I am particularly taken with your lush descriptive passages. You have the ability to paint a scene with words that makes me feel as though I am truly there. Did you take note of your surroundings with such detail even as a child?
Frances Mayes
Thank you! Yes, I think I did. I seem to have a total recall of childhood incidents, yet, I'm sure there are big blanks as well...

I haven't read your new book yet, but have read the others, about Italy. I read Under the Tuscan Sun every winter because I find it so enjoyable when the weather here is so cold and dark. I find myself imagining your Italian home, but you know, it would be so much better if I had some actual pictures to go along with the narrative. Do you think you could post some here?

I'm not normally a fan of movies made out of beloved books but there have been some notable exceptions, including 'Under the Tuscan Sun.' To me, that one was the perfect movie! The cast was great, the storyline was awesome and the movie score/soundtrack is STILL one of my faves. The setting and location shoots!!! Do you have plans to make a follow-up to this movie? Is it even an option? I have loved all of your books.
