Italian Neighbours: An Englishman in Verona
- Unit price
- / per
The item you've got your eye on is secondhand. You probably already know that, but just in case!
The estimated retail price shown next to any listed item represents the first-hand prices we've seen elsewhere, or the estimated original retail price of a comparable item of the same quality, construction and material offered elsewhere in new condition.
Englishman dissects living in true Italian essence.
If you've ever dreamed about picking up your life and replanting it in the heart of Italy, 'Italian Neighbours' is your soul's looking glass. Tim Parks masterfully balances the beauty and frustration of such an endeavor. You'll laugh, nod in empathy, and perhaps find a piece of yourself longing for the cobbled streets of Verona. It's a witty, honest, and intimate cultural dissection that's as much about finding home as it is about the place itself.
