The indelible marks each refuge has left on her and how each home influenced the next serve as the foundations of its chapters. From her travels across Italy-Tuscany, of course, but also Venice and Capri-to the American South, France, and Mexico, Mayes examines the connective tissue among them through the homes she's inhabited.Ī Place in the World explores Mayes's passion and obsessions with houses and the things that inhabit them-old books, rich food, beloved friends, transportive art.
Her musings are all the more poignant after so many have spent their long pandemic months at home. 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.
Though Frances Mayes is known for her travels, she has always sought a sense of home wherever she goes.
