A Thousand Days in Venice: An Unexpected Romance

Additional A Thousand Days in Venice: An Unexpected Romance Information

As this transplanted American learns the hard way about the peculiarities of Venetian culture, we are treated to an honest, often comic view of how two middle-aged people, both set in their ways but also set on being together, build a life. A THOUSAND DAYS IN VENICE is filled with the foods and flavors of Italy and peppered with recipes and culinary observations. But the main course here is about a woman who falls in love with both a man and a city, and finally finds the home she didn't know she was missing. It's a deliciously satisfying meal.

What Customers Say About A Thousand Days in Venice: An Unexpected Romance:

Via Amazon - Excellent service, prompt delivery, excellent conditionas described, packaged well.Would use again.

There is one thing I didn't like about the book. I never could figure out why the author dumps her great life in order to be with him.

I plan on reading the next book in the series. The author basically marries a little boy and has to pacify him and wait for him to become a man.

This book made me want to experience my own Venetian adventure. "The stranger" is controlling, weak and just plain annoying.

I only hope "the stranger" grows up. It is a great book for those interested in Venice.

It was reading about the author's relationship with "the stranger".

What more could one ask.de Blasi gives vivid descriptions of the people, the architecture, the geography and the flavors of Venice. This was the perfect romance: American woman in Venice, charming Venetian, marriage and a move to Venice. I've always wanted to see Venice; since reading this book my desire to visit has grown. This was a great read. I always enjoy reading de Blasi's books, particularly the recipes she throws in at the end.

It appears that the author refers to her husband as the strange (really --- you did marry him) when she is angry with him and as Fernando (his name) when she is not.its weird to me. She will describe something happening in September then goes back to August, which I wouldnt mind if that were the tone of the book, I personally think it is just unorganized writing. Oh well, I did make it to the end but this short book took me weeks to power through it (I can normally read a book in days).I kept waiting for the book to reach an interesting point or a turn of events, it just never did. This books starts out ok.then it slows WAY down. The author jumps around alot.

As I read the pages I can feel what it would be like to be transported as an American into a Venetian world. Ever since my return from Italy last year I have been searching for a book to read regarding life in Italy. I can hardly wait to begin reading the next one "1000 days in Tuscany". I enjoy how the author chronicles both the postivies and negatives of her new life in Venice. I have browsed many, but this one stands out from the rest. I couldn't put it down.
