レビュー

• Good book!

  wonderful read!

• Beautifully written, thought provoking, highly readable little gem of a book

  I don’t know how this one isn’t better known — I guess travel writing doesn’t sell well? This thing is insanely poetic. Quotes by Dante and Stendhal, weird little impressionist prose poems about the Italian landscape and architecture throughout. I’ve never even been to the place, but I enjoyed this one thoroughly!

• Lots of meandering and personal stories.

  I read other books that were more helpful for traveling to Italy. This one bordered on a personal journal of sorts and gave lots of story lines that I didn’t care to read.

• Beautiful Italy

  Italian Days is beautifully written by an author who can really write. Her style is exquisite. All the important Italian cities and the landscapes of Southern Italy appear, so for anyone who ever was in Italy, this book will bring back memories as it did for me. For anyone who has not been to Italy, it will motivate them to hop into a plane right away!

• A vicarious tour of wonderful, dysfunction Italy

  I read this when it first came out, and loved it. It's waiting for me to reread in, in anticipation of making my own trek around Italy.
