A whitewashed fishing village, a shapely signorina and an infatuated young man-head over heels on the heel of the boot. After falling in love with la bella Daniela, Chris Harrison uproots his life to follow her to her small hometown on the coast of Puglia and live La Dolce Vita. This award-winning book takes us on a vivid and hilarious journey into the heart of southern Italy, along the way introducing us to a cast of eccentric characters: a policeman who rearranges crimes to suit the necessary forms, a doctor who prescribes patients his homemade lemon liqueur, and Daniela's mother-the biggest challenge of all! Can their relationship possibly survive or will the sweet life turn sour? This is an enchanting tale of amore, Italian style.
