Bestselling and beloved author Frances Mayes will be the featured speaker at our spring luncheon. Ms Mayes has written numerous bestselling memoirs, travel guides and novels, including “Under the Tuscan Sun,” which was made into a major motion picture.
The Spring for Literacy Luncheon is a major fundraiser for Chatham Literacy, and the most popular event we hold each year. So buy your tickets below before they are sold out.
Frances Mayes will be highlighting her new book, “See You in the Piazza,” an insider’s travel guide to Italy. In researching it, she discovers the hidden pleasures of Italy in a sumptuous travel narrative that crisscrosses the country, with inventive new recipes celebrating Italian cuisine
The Roman Forum, the Leaning Tower, the Piazza San Marco: these are the sights synonymous with Italy. But such landmarks only scratch the surface of this magical country’s offerings. In See You in the Piazza, Frances Mayes introduces us to the Italy only the locals know, as she and her husband, Ed, eat and drink their way through thirteen regions–from Friuli to Sicily. Along the way, she seeks out the cultural and historic gems not found in traditional guidebooks.
This book will be released on March 12.
After the Luncheon presentation, Ms. Mayes will sign her books, around 2 pm. If you pre-order or buy your book from McIntyre’s Books, or at the luncheon, McIntyre’s will donate 20% of the book price to Chatham Literacy.
