Mayes, Frances

Bella Tuscany : the sweet life in Italy / Frances Mayes. - First edition - xiv, 286 pages ; Hard back 22 cm.

Primavera, an Italian spring. "Happiness? The color of it must be spring green, impossible to describe until I see a just-hatched lizard sunning on a stone. That color, the glowing green lizard skin, repeats in every new leaf. The regenerative power of nature explodes in every weed, stalk, branch. Working in the mild sun, I feel the green fuse of my body, too. Surges of energy, kaleidoscopic sunlight through the leaves, the soft breeze that makes me want to say the word "zephyr" - this mindless simplicity can be called happiness."
