Tuscany For Beginners

Tuscany For Beginners

by Imogen Edwards-Jones

  • LITERATURE
  • 2005
  • PAPER
  • 323 PAGES

In this deliciously wicked tale, British novelist Edward-Jones skewers the pretensions of the English abroad, taking as her target the sodden proprietress of a mediocre B&B in Tuscany. She sends up Frances Mayes and her ilk in this comedy of (ill)manners. Edward-Jones appropriately (for the tone of the book) thanks in her acknowledgements Candace Bushnell, author of Sex and the City. With rather tongue-in-cheek recipes scattered throughout.  (ITL609, $13.95)
