Please write another

Lovely book. So wonderful. Beautiful detaiks of the area. It makes me want to visit the region.

Fabulous

The author creates not only a vivid image of the Italian country side and the food grown and eaten there but most importantly she reminds us of how important it is to listen to your heart when making life decisions. Her descriptions filled my mind of frescos, alcoves and the blue sea. All while weaving in a bit of history and creating a place for the listeners mind to wander. This was a great listen!
