#Tuscany
blurb

This nonfiction book, which depicts daily life in a small Italian village during WWII, is quiet but moving. And important.

A light and quirky read! After a break up, an author heads to the hills of Tuscany to finish his book on the region‘s food and wine. When he gets to Italy, his rental car isn‘t there, and that kicks off the comedy of errors. He does indeed, drive a bulldozer across Tuscany, and meets a cast of charming characters.

A funny light read about a food writer who goes to Italy and the comedy of errors that ensue.

This is a light pick for me. It was a fast read and enjoyable, but not as good for me as AMS‘s Mma Romatswe books.

Yes he does end up having to rent a bulldozer to drive across Tuscany because there is a mishap with his car rental.

Yenya1954 This sounds like a fun book to read 7mo

Such a good book! It draws you in quickly and keeps you coming back. A sweeping family saga & devastating family secrets. I enjoyed the wine facts and the plot. But do feel that the ball was dropped on the Italian side of the story. What happened to the house Caterina inherited? Did she keep it? Did she & Santos ever go back? It's like this part of the story fell away and didn't come back. Other than that, I enjoyed this book (cont in comments)..

TheHeartlandBookFairy which included romance, drama, secrets, intrigue, a mystery, and wine. I recommend pairing this book with a good Cabrenet Sauvignon or a nice red blend 🍷 1y

This is a light pick for me. While the story was good and engaging the writing left a lot to be desired. It is also apparently the 5th in a series. It didn‘t seem to matter as far as the storyline goes but would have been nice to know before reading.
