A beautiful story
I just love this film. It is a great balance of heartbreak, romance, comedy, drama, friendship, and culture. Diane Lane shines portraying a broken woman picking up the pieces of her life. Not only do you fall in love with beautiful Tuscany, you get a taste of Italian custom and culture as well. With a plot that holds true to real life situations if you are brave enough to take chances, this story is a perfect tale of casting aside your fears and insecurities and taking chances even when you feel like giving up. Frances takes a leap of faith and buys a rustic villa in Tuscany in serious need of a fixing up after a life altering event...a dreaded divorce. After a failed relationship Francis yearns to find love again. She meets a couple different men that help her on the way. As most of us know, you learn from every relationship before finding "the one." While she hopes to find the forever kind of love she keeps busy renovating a house she has many dreams of building a life in. You meet great and somewhat quirky characters, while Francis builds friendships that we all hope for. She grows into woman who is living a life she could only dream about and getting everything she never knew she wanted after many challenges along the way.
