Book: Bringing Tuscany Home: Sensuous Style From the Heart of Italy
Quotes of Book: Bringing Tuscany Home:

Frances Mayes _ Bringing Tuscany Home:
At Bramasole, the first secret spot that draws me outside is a stump and board bench on a high terrace overlooking the lake and valley. Before I sit down, I must bang the board against a tree to knock off all the ants. Then I'm happy. With a stunted oak tree for shelter and a never-ending view, I am hidden. No one knows where I am. The nine-year-old's thrill of the hideout under the hydrangea comes back: My mother is calling me and I am not answering.

Although I am a person who expected to be rooted in one spot forever, as it has turned out I love having the memories of living in many places.
