From book cover:
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. the decide to sell up their lives in the big city and move thousands of miles to Montalcio, an intriguing hilltop medieval village with a reputation for some of the finest wine in Italy.

To be taken to the BookX meet and released tonight.

It will be intresting ro compare this book with others who have changed their lives completely and gone to live in a new country.

Normally I dislike books that are full of detail because I often feel that the author is saying either, "I have done hours of research and I am not going to waste a word" or, "I know this is only a short story really but if I pad it out with enough detail it might make a novel"

This book is packed with detail but it is the story of aTuscan village, its history and its inhabitant, and it is written with such love, compassion and undestanding that it is fabulous. I do not want to give anything away but the author is Australian married to an Italian she tells of her joy at moving from La Signora to Isobella after being in the village fro some years.

I loved this book so much I am not sure I want to wild release it and risk loosing track of it it the big black hole of cyberspace. It will certainly e available for controlled release.

After I had read this book I lent it to a neighbour who said she had read a similar book before, but could not remember the details. I wonder if it was actually this book?
I found the book facinating and without givig too much away the authors joy when she is finally accepted by the local women is quite moving.

Will be released back through the Chertsey Meet
