Interesting book on the complications and joys of living in Venice for a long period of time.
Excellent memoir of a the author and her husband's voyages to and life in the fabled Italian city of Venice. Sizeable doses of personal experience, societal relations, art history and excellent portrayal of this lovely city.
I adored this book. It was so interesting! I plan to read it again and now that I have a good Venetian city map follow where she lived and walked around. In fact, this book has absolutely prodded me to make plans to go to Venice this coming spring. I can't wait. the author is a good writer and the book was easy to read because of that. If you are interested in Italy you must read it!
