I loved the book and tried to buy more but when going back to your computer, it wouldn't let me. I gsve up in disgustand called Bookmans which is a chain bookstore that sells secondhand books. Because I had changed mycarrier from [.]., it kept saying I wasn'tright.my password wasn't right nor my e-mail address andthere was no way I could get past all that. They suggested eachtime change my password and 3 times I did just that and STILLit kept saying I wasn't the right person.password and e-mail address didn't jibe or whatever. You really should have someone look at how yourcomputer responds to people. So you can see why I am not goingto go that route again as it is too time consuming and frustrating.Sorry.
Via Amazon - Excellent service, prompt delivery, excellent conditionas described, packaged well.Would use again.
I plan on reading the next book in the series. I never could figure out why the author dumps her great life in order to be with him.
It is a great book for those interested in Venice. This book made me want to experience my own Venetian adventure.
"The stranger" is controlling, weak and just plain annoying. There is one thing I didn't like about the book.
It was reading about the author's relationship with "the stranger". The author basically marries a little boy and has to pacify him and wait for him to become a man.
I only hope "the stranger" grows up.
This was the perfect romance: American woman in Venice, charming Venetian, marriage and a move to Venice. This was a great read. I always enjoy reading de Blasi's books, particularly the recipes she throws in at the end. What more could one ask.de Blasi gives vivid descriptions of the people, the architecture, the geography and the flavors of Venice. I've always wanted to see Venice; since reading this book my desire to visit has grown.
She will describe something happening in September then goes back to August, which I wouldnt mind if that were the tone of the book, I personally think it is just unorganized writing. This books starts out ok.then it slows WAY down. The author jumps around alot. It appears that the author refers to her husband as the strange (really --- you did marry him) when she is angry with him and as Fernando (his name) when she is not.its weird to me. Oh well, I did make it to the end but this short book took me weeks to power through it (I can normally read a book in days).I kept waiting for the book to reach an interesting point or a turn of events, it just never did.
