Title: Where every chapter is enchanted
Review: Hawes has written a truly enchanting story of a Brit in Liguria. She arrives a naive tourist, looking to make a long summer out of a job she knows nothing about and lied to get. She ends up owning a home, or rather a country place, before the end of the summer. Hawes learns a great deal over the next several years from the locals. In her learning she uses her naivete of the region to amuse the reader and ends up admitting that her impressions of the locals at the start was incomplete and incorrect. Her prose is good and her discourse with the locals retold well. Deserves a better fate than on the remainder table where I found it.
