520    "A lyrical and evocative collection of personal stories 
       from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Under the
       Tuscan Sun, in which the queen of wanderlust reflects on 
       the comforts of home. While 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 "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. Her musings are all the more poignant after so many
       have spent their long pandemic months at home. 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. A 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. The indelible marks each refuge has left
       on her and how each home influenced the next serve as the 
       foundations of each chapter. 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"--|cProvided by
