 A Treasure
Thank you, Sandra. (I wonder, do authors ever read what the reader writes?) I loved your cover painting and photographs and your quick wit and excellent information. Our local librarian recommended your book to me. She added that our library had only one copy and it was becoming dog-eared. She characterized your book as a "pass along, word of mouth book." Therein, lies the problem. Fiona put me on our library waiting list (I was 14th on the list here in our small Wyoming town!) Then, fortuitously, I was able to buy your book on my last trip to London, where it is also wildly popular (and, I must add, nicely stocked in the bookstores.) I confess that I do not normally lend books, but I have lent this one. Hint to the lending reader: Write your name prominently inside the frontispiece to assure a return. This is not exactly a review, I would not presume to write an actual review nor know how to go about it. If you love Italy, as I do, and if you love good writing, you will be enriched by this wonderful book.

This author is no Frances Mayes -- likewise
We are grateful. It was a relief to find out that you dont have to buy a villa in Tuscany to live the good life! We have enough problems with our old house here. Our family is language impaired, as some say about all folks from the South, but seriously, this writer taught all of us, our children included, how to pronounce the names of the little towns and the Italian words and the phrases we needed to get by. We had never been to Italy before but with what we learned from this book when we got there we did just fine. Bravo! We love to say that now.

Surprise
It is a surprise that the reviewers speak here only of travel tips in Italy. It is true that the information is very good. It must be said that far more important is that the book is the story of a budding young opera Diva in her Italian studies and culminates with her first opera performance which is exquisite. Put away the travel tips and read this book for the promise of a brilliant new star.
