Title: Disappointing
Product review: Lyrically written but ultimately quite disappointing. Unfortunately I have to agree with other readers who found this book pretentious and self indulgent.A vastly superior book about authentic Tuscan country life and food is Elizabeth Romer's The Tuscan Year.Tim Parks, a British author, and Paul Hoffman, the former Roman bureau chief for the NYT, have written a number of books about their lives as expatriates in Italy--Parks lives in the Veneto and Hoffman in Rome. Their books are keenly insightful and thought provoking and well worth reading.
