“Not at all the usual actor’s memoir, but a simple toast to
eating, drinking and innocent merriment in old Umbria.” —Kirkus
Reviews Having sent their last child off to college, Michael Tucker
and his wife, the actress Jill Eikenberry, were vacationing in Italy
when they happened upon a small cottage nestled in the Umbrian
countryside. The three-hundred-and-fifty-year-old rustico sat perched
on a hill in the verdant Spoleto Valley amid an olive grove and fruit
trees of every kind. For the Tuckers, it was literally love at first
sight, and the couple purchased the house—without testing the water
pressure or checking for signs of termites. Shedding the vestiges
of their American life, Michael and Jill endeavored to learn the
language, understand the nuances of Italian culture, and build a home
in this new chapter of their lives. Both a celebration of a good
marriage and a careful study of the nature of home, Living in a
Foreign Language is a gorgeous, organic travelogue written with an
epicurean’s delight in detail and a gourmand’s appreciation for
all things fine. “The ex-L.A. Law star details his and wife Jill
Eikenberry’s move to Italy. Viva la dolce vita!” —People
“If you’ve ever dreamed of living in an ancient stone villa set
high above the Italian countryside—and who hasn’t?—Living in a
Foreign Language is a seduction, a warning, an encouragement, and a
guide to making a dream come true.” —Mary Doria Russell, author of
