Wasn't even sure I'd finish it. A memoir: romantic, lush with food and Damask and descriptions of Italy--chiefly the waterways and lagoons of Venice. Everything has a golden hue--even the man with one sharp front tooth! The author paints with words describing her adventures in meeting and marrying an Italian man, giving up everything and moving to Venice. She, a renowned chef and writer from St. Louis. How wonderful it would be to tour beginning in St. Louis and visiting all of the places in her book!! A long,exyensive tour to see the richness, the beauty that she describes, the luscious foods and wines she tastes. <br/> <br/>"A thousand days. A minute. A flash. Just like life I think." <br/> <br/>A luscious book to savor. I hesitate to begin another and diminish the "taste" of this one~~~ <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1100910?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
