...for here there is no place
that does not see you. You must change your life.
- RILKE
I was at an airport.
I needed a book.
It was the 1990s (no e-books).
Another cross-country business trip.
This was it.
The Tuscan sun has warmed me to the marrow.
I read the whole thing from cover-to-cover on that journey. Maybe it was the writing, maybe it was the locale, maybe it was because I was leaving sun and flying into snow, but I really enjoyed this book. Frances Mayes had me turning pages to discover the results of her house renovations, her travels in Tuscany, and her recipes.
...there's always the fear that it's not real, you're not really allowed to determine your own life. It may be pulled back at any moment.
I changed my life.
Book Season = Summer (lemon cake, tangerine sorbet)
