"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!" -

"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
