43) Living in a Foreign Language
As an Italophile I found this book an easy read with great descriptions
of the food and people of Umbria. I felt part of the story and want to go
and visit the exact area where Michael Tucker bought his Rustico.
Grat book.

42) Great Book For Daydreamers!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and my only criticsm is that it had to end. I wanted more. My husband and I have been lucky enough to visit Tuscany and Umbria and have often dreamed of buying a home there in need of repair. Michael's descriptions of his day to day life, making friends with the locals and other Americans brought you into his life. You want to sit around a table with them enjoying the food they have cooked or sitting with their friends in a local cafe or wandering the beautiful countryside. It gives you a glimpse into what it would be like to live there although without the visits from their movie industry friends. Write more books, Michael.

41) if you like hollywood types
i couldnt wait to throw this book in the ashcan-so self serving, really boring--if you love italy for its substance dont waste your time on this book. i recently bought a house there so i read everything i can (hundreds of books on life in italy)and i can say that with all the good stuff out there, eliminate this one. unless of course you love hollywood types.

40) Living in a Foreign Language:A Memoir of Food, Wine, and Love in Italy
I have not yet been fortunate to physically travel to Italy but I can say with certainty that while reading Mr. Tucker's book, I made an intellectual journey to Italy. What a read! I felt as if I was seeing, smelling, touching, tasting every bit that Italy has to offer through the words of Mr. Tucker. Thank you, Mr. Tucker, for taking me along with you. I hope that in the near future my family and I will have the privilege of experiencing this wonderful country.

39) Living in a Foreign Language
This is a fun escape into a new venture. The author takes the reader along to the new life he and his wife are experiencing as they share the beauty and excitement of living among the Italian olive groves and fig trees with a few sips of wine and great pasta! Learning the language as they live it is as delightful as it is challenging.

The Lady in the Palazzo: At Home in Umbria
Touching and humorous, Marlena de Blasi’s account of moving with her husband, Fernando, to Orvieto, the largest city in Italy’s Umbria, is a story that will appeal to anyone who delights in travel and shares the fantasy of beginning a new life in a very different place. By turns romantic and sensual, joyous and celebratory, it is a tale of the couple’s search for the right home—which turns out to be the former ballroom of a fifteenth-century palazzo—and for the...
