Title: Go see "Tea with Mussolini"
Product review: This poor book. The author tried to write "A Season in Tuscany," but, alas, she is no Peter Mayle. She wanted to write "Villa," but she is no Tracy Kidder. If Mayes wanted to explain how to fix up a villa, she didn't go into enough detail. For example, I'd like to know if she put in surveillance cameras. And one does bristle at the comments about the indigenes. Perhaps we have poorly prioritized our use of time, those of us who read the whole of this dreadful book and then spent more time reviewing it. I don't have time to write more. I have to finish reading the last 20 pages.
