Title: Eh...the first one was MUCH better.
Product review: Sorry, Ms. Mayes, but I think your first swing through Italy was better. "Under the Tuscan Sun" was a fabulous book. "Bella Tuscany" pales by comparison. I do still love the descriptions and the wonderful places, but I feel that we're between a story and a travellogue with this entry. Actually, I'm rather hoping that Mayes' next book *is* a travellogue of all of the wonderful places we should all visit in Tuscany! I appreciate the fact that Ed is more present in this book than in the first -- nice to "meet" him more, at last!
