A highly personal portrait of a foreigner's life in Venice

A novelist and mother of three children describes everyday life in modern Venice from a foreign resident's point of view. The prose gets a bit florid at times, but the anecdotes are irresistible and the photos are a delight. - Durant Imboden, Venice for Visitors, http://govenice.miningco.co

A book you will want to read again and again!

Every time you read and view the photographs of this wondrous book, you will acquire new insights to the spirit and beauty of Venice through the author's love affair with La Serenissima. I guarantee it

A personal view of daily life in Venice, with color photos.

In 1986, British novelist Lisa St. Aubin de Terán moved to Venice with her painter husband and two children. Venice: The Four Seasons is a personal account of her family's subsequent life in Venice, with observations on topics that range from neighborhoods to seasonal events. The prose gets a bit florid at times, but this is a delightful volume for anyone who dreams of occupying a flat or palazzo in Europe's most beautiful city. Scores of color photographs by Mick Lindberg add to the book's appeal. (Review copyright 1996 by Durant Imboden; reprinted from The Baby Boomer's Venice at http://www.writing.org/venice.htm
