Von ihrem friedlichen toskanischen Grundstück aus beobachtet die Schriftstellerin Kit Raine die chaotische Ankunft dreier amerikanischer Frauen mit regelrechten Gepäckbergen und einem Hund im Schlepptau. Kit ist fasziniert. Das ist kein gewöhnlicher Urlaub, vermutet sie. Benvenute, herzlich willkommen. Die drei Frauen haben sich in North Carolina kennengelernt. Susan, die Verwegenste des Trios, hat die zwei anderen dazu überredet, ihre Aussichten auf einen respektablen Ruhestand sausen zu lassen und stattdessen die großzügige, verwunschene Villa Assunta zu mieten. Die Freundinnen sind aufgeschlossen und neugierig, müssen sich jedoch zuerst in der fremden Kultur zurechtfinden. Susan macht sich daran, den verwilderten Garten in eine romantische Oase zu verwandeln. Julia, ohnehin eine begnadete Köchin, ist fest entschlossen, eine Meisterin der italienischen Küche zu werden. Und Camille, die sich vor langer Zeit gegen eine Karriere als Künstlerin entschieden hat, um für ihre Familie da zu sein, überkommt bei den neuen und überwältigenden Eindrucken das Bedürfnis, wieder zu malen. Kit begleitet die drei Freundinnen auf ihrem Weg und stellt dabei fest, dass auch ihr eigenes Leben noch einige Überraschungen bereithält … ›Das Licht der Toskana‹ ist ein Buch voll Wärme, Herzlichkeit und köstlichen Beschreibungen von Land und Leuten, Kochkunst und Freundschaft – eine einzige Liebeserklärung an Italien.
