Book Review of A Thousand Days in Venice

A Thousand Days in Venice

Helpful Score: 1


An American woman meets a man in Venice, falls in love and packs up her life to live with him in his homeland - synopsis sounds romantic, but the story line fails to deliver. The book is more of De Blasi's romance with Venice than with the Venetian (who she calls "The Stranger"). The writing, however, is beautiful. De Blasi, a food writer, had my mouth watering with her descriptions of the meals and the Italian marketplace.
