Description


The book is a light-hearted view of life in a rural Italian village in the 1970s. It is a picture of an Italy that is long gone.

Aged 22, Valerie left a comfortable life in Poole, Dorset, to follow her Italian fiancé to his home in northern Italy.

The language, the locals and lasagne – That’s Amore!
