Somewhere along the way of the 20+-yr marriage of Susan Pohlman, the author, & her spouse have lost what it takes to keep their marriage going in the busyness of their daily lives. They are at the point of divorce. Instead, the couple take a risk, pull up their 'roots,' pack their bags with their two children to Italy for a year. The couple find each other again; the simpleness of the Italian life in the small villages they visit, enjoying the art of the sights they visit, the coffee breaks, the special times together as a family, & watching their children adjust to school abroad. Pohlman writes of the families adventures throughout the year spent abroad. She often shares comical thoughts & thoughts to contemplate. A thoroughly enjoyable read. Makes a person want to travel to Italy. The book easily makes you feel you are there with the family.

Enchanting read. I liked this author. My first time reading her work. Beautiful discription of Italy, made me want to be there. If my husband said "lets think about living here in Italy", i'd be packed in a flash. I liked the story, the flow of words and the area she chose to write about. I also will look to see what more this author has to offer. Well worth my time.
