Annie Hawes writes well about her life in Italy and is both fun and interesting. She views the life of her Italian relatives with love and on occasion incredulity. Her books do not show a life that is impossibly romantic or a constant trail around cultural and foodie establishments. She writes about people and their stories and life and is all the more enjoyable for this. She takes me straight to the warmth and beauty of southern Italy. Being able to speak Italian and now being part of a family she is able to both know what would baffle an English audience and explain some of those inexplicable things or tell her reader what is going on so that you can make your own mind up. For those of us who love Italy and want to understand the culture, this is fantastic. ( ) I married a man from Calabria. Though we live in the USA, so many things in this book were so similar to my experiences with his family that reading the book was like talking with someone who understood their quirks and idiosyncrasies. It was a lighthearted look at the culture and people of southern Italy. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
All Annie Hawes knows of distant Calabria is that it's way down in the toe of the boot of Italy, and that it's a wild, unruly and poverty-stricken place. Or so she is told -Annie has lived in her village in Liguria long enough now to take the locals' opinions with a big pinch of salt. It's time she met her fiance Ciccio's extended family anyway, so leaving her beloved cottage and olive groves behind, Annie embarks on a new adventure to the south of Italy. It's going to be another steep learning curve in getting to grips with the intricacies of Italian rural life. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
