Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet.

Reviews
Praise for A Place in the World "Mayes delivers a soulful meditation on 'what home means, how it hooks the past and pushes into the future' in her spellbinding latest. She examines the question through an evocative tour of her homes. . . . This rich testament to the pleasures of wanderlust and permanence is a gift." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Another lush account of family and place . . . The writing is characteristically intimate, as if she is sharing her thoughts and feelings with a dear friend, and she employs eloquent and detailed descriptions, creating a wonderful sense of place. A can't-miss hit for Mayes fans." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Praise for Frances Mayes "Tuscany may have found its own bard in Frances Mayes." -- The New York Times "Those who want to find parts of themselves they didn't know existed, take risks, have an adventure . . . and discover another culture altogether, with its different rhythms, tastes, smells, and ways of being human--those readers will find in Mayes a kindly, eager, tough-spirited guide." -- Houston Chronicle "Mayes's writing about Italy is the next best thing to a plane ticket." -- People "Frances Mayes is, before all else, a wonderful writer. . . . She never loses sight of the fact that millenniums-old Tuscany, with its immemorial customs and folkways, is not to be domesticated or made familiar. Her Italy remains intransigently foreign, exotic, a continuing revelation of strangeness and unexpected beauties." -- Chicago Tribune, Praise for Frances Mayes "Tuscany may have found its own bard in Frances Mayes." -- The New York Times "Those who want to find parts of themselves they didn't know existed, take risks, have an adventure . . . and discover another culture altogether, with its different rhythms, tastes, smells, and ways of being human--those readers will find in Mayes a kindly, eager, tough-spirited guide."-- Houston Chronicle "Mayes's writing about Italy is the next best thing to a plane ticket."-- People "Frances Mayes is, before all else, a wonderful writer. . . . She never loses sight of the fact that millenniums-old Tuscany, with its immemorial customs and folkways, is not to be domesticated or made familiar. Her Italy remains intransigently foreign, exotic, a continuing revelation of strangeness and unexpected beauties."-- Chicago Tribune "Mayes displays a gift for conveying everyday life through her writing . . . perfect for those with the yen but not the means for a second home . . . [and] presents a simpler, less frantic version of how to live one's life."-- USA Today "Mayes [has] perfect vision. . . . She has, by the sweat of her brow and the strength of her vision, become a layer in the history of this place."-- Los Angeles Times "We'll follow the author Frances Mayes anywhere, whether that's under the Tuscan sun or through her native South. . . . Bonus: Like many Southerners, she's generous with sharing her favorite recipes."-- Garden & Gun "Mayes is a master at capturing a solid sense of place through her lush, poetic narratives."-- Orlando Sentinel

Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A lyrical and evocative collection of personal stories from the author of Under the Tuscan Sun , in which the queen of wanderlust reflects on the comforts of home. "Personal, warm, and lovely . . . a charming read. The book feels like a warm conversation with your most thoughtful, curious friend."-- Garden & Gun LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/DIAMONSTEIN-SPIELVOGEL AWARD - VERANDA BOOK CLUB PICK "Where you are is who you are." Though Frances Mayes is known for her travels, she has always sought a sense of home wherever she goes. In this poetic testament to the power of place in our lives, Mayes reflects on the idea of home, from the earliest imprint of four walls to the startling discoveries of feeling the strange ease of homes abroad, friends' homes, and even momentary homes that spark desires for other lives. From her travels across Italy to the American South, France, and Mexico, Mayes examines the connective tissue among them through the homes she's inhabited. A Place in the World explores Mayes's passion for and obsession with houses and the objects that inhabit them--books, rich food, gardens, beloved friends, and transportive art. The indelible marks that each refuge has left on her and how each home influenced the next serve as the foundations of the book's chapters. Written in Mayes's signature intimate style, A Place in the World captures the adventure of moving on while seeking comfort in the cornerstone closest to all of us--home., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * A lyrical and evocative collection of personal stories from the author of Under the Tuscan Sun , in which the queen of wanderlust reflects on the comforts of home.
