Title: The Tuscan Sun Shines Elsewhere
Product review: Someone gave us this book--and that's the only good thing we can say about it. Apparently this type of book--overwritten, cloying, simplistic--easily fills the void in the American spirit. By reading it we become "spiritual voyeurs", content to witness anothers foreign achievements, however meager and poorly written they might be. Yes, we should have books written by authors residing in foreign climes--but not druidic, pseudo-poetic extrapolations like this! But the obvious success of Ms. Mayes' nonsense (with recipes!) has made her rich and that is what America exists for.
