The house is a metaphor for the self, of course, but it is also totally real. And a foreign house exaggerates all the associations houses carry.
Frances Mayes, extracted from Under the Tuscan Sun.
I love the words I find written in Frances Mayes book, Under the Tuscan Sun. I’ve been carrying this book with me, wherever I move, since before moving to Te Anau, New Zealand, and that was way back before 1999.
The book is so veryvery different to the movie. My idea is that the book is for writers and dreamers, while the movie is a straight out chick flick ... humble opionion, of course.
