I LOVED this book. It is nothing like the movie. A simple and beautiful tale of a husband and wife renovating their Italian home over a span of 5 summers. The pages are full of discriptive details of this beautiful home, of the workers, of travels to vineyards, and simple, truely Italian recipes that make your mouth water. I hope you can dive in and enjoy it as much as I did.

Adding this book to my book exchange. Stop by anytime for a book swap. The coffee pot is always on!! (this book is part of the 2011 Movie Books Release Challange)
