“I love reading anything having to do with Italy, but this book just didn't do it for me. And I don't know why, is it because I have nothing in common with a married father of young twins living in Italy for a year?Or because I didn't feel he 'loved' living in Rome for a year as much as I would have? Or perhaps because I never really got an impression of his wife. Perhaps it was just not personal enough, of a memoir, for me anyway.”
