This was a great travel book/memoir, actually written like a novel. I enjoyed the way it was written in the third person singular "you". I don't think I've ever read a story written in this format, so it was a unique enjoyable first experience. I read it in one day, really enjoying it, but the end did get sad, I felt sorry for the author. Her affair was exciting for a while, but unfortunately....... you must read it to find out!

This was a quick easy read. It's written in the third person singular "you" which is hard to get use to at first. I liked the story, but as a romantic, I thought Laura deserved more than the professor could give her. I didn't care for the professor much as I thought he was arogant and said some hurtful things to her. In the end though, the affair served it's purpose and helped her to move beyond. The ending is open ended which makes me wonder...do they still see eachother?!?!

I loved this book, but was sad at the end for her. I wish the author would write another book continuing her adventure. It made me want more! I would recommend this book if you love travel books about italy.

The third person singular format is difficult to wade through, but once you find the rhythm the story is good and it certainly made me feel like a trip to Italy!
