One for the Road: Living in a Foreign Language
L.A. Law fans may be interested to learn about an upcoming travel memoir by actor Michael Tucker. He and his wife, actress Jill Eikenberry, were vacationing in Italy when they fell head over heels for a rustic Umbrian cottage. They impulsively bought the place and Tucker has now chronicled their "under an Umbrian sun" experiences in a lighthearted travelogue.Living in a Foreign Language: A Memoir of Food, Wine and Love in Italy tells the story of how the couple embraces the culture of their new home -- including the gourmet delights of Italian cooking and the challenges of learning how to communicate with local neighbors and friends. "Our goal," writes Tucker, "was to slow down our hearts and minds until they synched up with the circadian rhythm of the Italian countryside."
The couple will begin a series of book tour appearances with an event in New York on July 10.
