  • A bit of everything3

    Mrs Lucy A Robinson Frances Mayes first book was such a runaway best seller, that it was a little hard to beat.. and so I am left with mixed feelings after reading this book. I must confess feeling a little confused on reading this.. is it a journal? a cook book? an art critique? a travel guide? It has a bit of all these elements in it, but somehow I felt it did none particularly well. While certainly engaging at times other sections were somewhat onerous to plough through, and I felt that I was not being drawn into her world in the same way as Under the Tuscan Sun and Bella Tuscany.
    Having said this, if you are a fan of Frances Mayes then you could do worse than curl up with this book at the end of a hard day, and a bit of time wasted reading through this book would leave you no worse off than when you began. Much reference was made to Signorelli the painter, but the descriptions of his works were somewhat lost without any pictures to accompany them. Perhaps one of the underlying themes which I thought a bit sad was the tarnished underbelly of her experience in Tuscany.. something I didn't really want to know about when seeking a bit of escapism.. surely utopia must exist somewhere? And why not in Tuscany? I hope she finds the peace she seeks and perhaps returns to a simpler style in future. by Mrs Lucy A Robinson
