A true story of an American woman who throws away her whole life in the US to marry an Italian banker. I found it quite dull and could not for the life of me understand what she saw in the man, especially since she tells us so little about him!
This book was ok, not much different than Under the Tuscan Sun, but still good. I like her well enough to keep reading her.
Really beautifully written, this was really fun to read leading up to my trip to Venice, and finishing it on the train ride back to Rome. I would call this a love story about the author and Venice, where the relationship between her and her partner is under-explained, because that’s not the main focus. Really good to read which in Venice, but make sure to check out the recommendations at the back of the book. I didn’t see this until the train ride back to Rome, so would’ve been nice to have seen
