Summary: Historical Perspective of Southern ITalian Town
Comment: This very graphic and descriptive book opened up my eyes to the realities that many of our ancestors faced in their lives.
This compassionate woman described her time in a small town
in Italy in a sharp contrast to most books on the subject,
perhaps somewhat like "Christ Stopped in Eboli"
For the person interested in Recent Italian history, this book
will greatly enlarge your understanding of the plight of the southern italian.
if you are looking for romantic fluff, don't read this book.

Rating: 2
Summary: Disapointing
Comment: I was misled by Frances Mayes' name listed next to the author's.
She wrote only the introduction. This was not a colaboration.
The book itself was basically dry, boring, dated, plot-less and less than wonderful.
I think it was reprinted to "jump on the "Tuscany" bandwagon" of popularity. I could not recommend this book.
