A hilarious romp through love, food, and Italy.
Do you love life? In this hilarious frolic through the hills of Italy, our heroine discovers the past is never really gone: it runs beside us our entire lives, just waiting to bite us in the arse. love, life is a made-up true fable about coming out, going back in, getting fat, Italian food, and stalking the Piazzo Bernardini. It’s a haunting love story, transcending decades, countries, and heartbreak. A Newfoundlander in Italy offers the humour, optimism, and romantic yearning the world needs now.
"It’s rich, and strange, and fantastic in both senses of the word [...] even though it has moments of darkness, this little book is drenched with light."
"[love, life is] an adroit interweaving, revolving around a central hub of the necessity of self-acknowledgement [...] [an amalgam] of wry awareness, playful and painful recall, and sheer imagination."
