good service

I haven't read the book, but it arrived in timely fashion and is in good shape

Italian Adventure

I am enjoying the book . It is a perfect read after having returned from a month in Italy. I am able to visualize Matera, Puglia, Otranto, and many other places. I can see myself in many of the experiences contained in the book. Enjoy, enjoy! Wow! I think I can contribute to Cusumano's next book about Italy!

Absolutely wonderful!

The editor of this book deserves a lot of credit. She has brought together some wonderful authors here. These are not your standard stories of wealthy women who bought villas in Italy. Nor are they typical stories about the quaintness of the Italian "natives". These are everyday women living and traveling in Italy for diverse reasons. Their stories ring true and honest, and they are, at times, heart-wrenching. The writing is superb. I loved leaving this book by my bedside and reading one story each evening. If you love Italy or dream of visiting Italy, you will love this book.
