Format:Paperback
OK, so some readers have found plenty to criticise, be it the Italian grammar, stereotypes, or Elizabeth's character. I would agree Elizabeth can get on your nerves, however, Parks spells out for us the shallow, lazy, hopeless romantic that Elizabeth is. Yes, she uses stereotypes, but she is chastised for this and for wallowing in her own self pity. As a character she is completely self absorbed. And yet this is what makes this book so compelling. I took it on holiday and read it over 3 days. Elizabeth is quite capable of a lot of things like most of us, yet most of the time she simply cannot be bothered. I should imagine that not everyone who visits Italy as a teenager gets to go back? What's wrong with that? The ending has a nice twist although I found the final chapter to be without much substance and playing into the stereotype of 'happy ever after'. I have read several of Parks books and enjoyed them for what they are. Don't over analyse and you will find the story a very enjoyable read!

An entertaining and very readable book. I do agree with previous reviewers that the central character can be very tiresome and drippy, but I'm glad things all work out for her in the end! There are quite a number of very basic inaccuracies about aspects of Italian life; clearly the author hasn't spent much time there. This might sound pedantic, but it does detract from the 'sense of place' somewhat. The evil mother-in-law is priceless though!

The story of Elizabeth, who since she was young, has dreamed of marrying an Italian and moving to Italy. Her dreams come true and she marries Roberto and does indeed move to Italy. However the Italy of her youthful memories, although there in the background, plays no part in her life...instead she has a battleaxe of an Italian mother-in-law, a disinterested husband and no friends. Worn out by long hours in the family business and desperate to have a baby this is not what she had thought her future held. Enter a handsome young American and life changes for the better. This book has a happy ending and is a fun read. The author holds your interest from page one to the end.

Predictable, but enjoyable nonetheless
It took me a little while to get into this book, picking it up for few pages, then putting it down again. Suffice to say, it didn't grip me from the start. Read more
