The Back of the Book
When Isobel Dusi visited Italy with her Australian husband Lou, little did they imagine that life would change forever. But, utterly besotted with the fragrant warmth and good-natured conviviality of southern Tuscany, they decided to sell up their lives in the big city and move thousands of miles to Montalcino, an intriuing hilltop medieval village with a reputation for some of the finest wine in Italy.
Vanilla Beans & Brodo is an account of Isobel's hard-won acceptance into this tempestuous, warm-hearted and proudly independent community, whose voluble passions for home grown wine and Tuscan cuisine, for football and ancient traditions and festivals, puts paid to the myth that life in rural Tuscany is tranquil. Isobel and Lou are gradually transformed into Isabella and Luigi in this charming account that really get to the beating heart of an Italian community - its joys, pleasures, anxieties, but above all, its absorbing eccentricities.
