I have a comment more than a question. After reading your book Under the Tuscan Sun. I booked my trip to Italy for next spring. Thank you so much I hope I have a great experience and fall in love with Italy :)

Alice Harbin
Alice Harbin asked Frances Mayes:

I'm sorry I haven't read Under Magnolia yet, but would you answer questions about Under the Tuscan Sun? Did your remodeling project in Under the Tuscan Sun turn out to your satisfaction? Are you still living there? How did you learn to speak Italian? How did you select Tuscany?

Pamela
Pamela asked Frances Mayes:

How did you juggle writing professor with memoirist? Transitioned from journalist to professor to carve out more time to write when I got serious about creative nonfiction. Is an MFA necessary to land a great agent?
