A Thousand Days in Venice

Author: Marlena de Blasi
Stars: 3.5
Review by: JamBob

Want to spend some time in Italy but cannot afford a tour? Read a true story about Venice through the eyes of a middle-aged new bride who unexpectedly marries a Venetian. Love comes upon her during a business trip. She is an American from St. Louis who ups and changes her life for a blueberried eyed Italian who lives in the magical city of Venice. Marlena is a chef and food critic so the book has many references to delicious meals and some recipes in the back. Fall in love again and immerse yourself in Italian culture as you float through her book and along the romantic canals.
