This book is perfect for any Italian trip. It takes place in Liguria, Cinque Terra, and perfectly describes the location, as well as how a mispronunciation (in Italian) can mean you end up entirely in a different place. It’s such a warm hug of a book, charming and very Italian. Every year, I go to Liguria, and almost every year, I read it on the plane. It gets me ready for the food, the sea and holiday.
