another book that I wanted to love but only liked. I'd heard so many good things about it and did find a lot to like but was ultimately disappointed in some of the writing style itself. It's a wonderful story, just not always wonderfully put-together. For the most part, the author's voice is very clear and poignant, a joy to read. The landscape, food, and daily life comes alive brilliantly. However, all too occasionally, she goes off on these tangents of train-of-thought writing into memories of her childhood. etc. that she can't seem to connect back to the rest of the book very well. These sections become aimless and disconnected from the rest of book. It's like she's trying too hard to be deep and intellectual, so instead of adding a layer of insight into her childhood/lifeview, she just taints the rest of a beautiful memoir of a beautiful place. I don't want to be too harsh, I'm sure the sentiments are true and meaningful, but I just wish she would have left some more of it in her personal journal and stuck to what she does best (i.e. not deep diving pyschology). Just because you have the money to buy a place in Italy and have other people restore it for you, does not mean you are an intellectual god. I am at once attracted to the life of a priveledged intellectual as I am repelled by the inescapable pretensiousness of it. What does she do great? The recipes for instance! What a great way to bring that aspect of the book full circle. I would love to see a well-designed/scrapbookish/full color version of this book with photographs of the places and food. She really opens this personal world up to the reader and brings them into the house and gardens, a warm and welcoming place where i would like to spend so many afternoons drifting into my own dreams of owning and restoring an old house.
