I generally don't read romance, and found this book boring. The writing is lovely but I found the characters dull and forgettable. I slogged through the first 100 pages before tossing it aside.

Sorry, I'm not re-posting this! After spending two days in Venice on a tour, being very intrigued, but not sure if there was enough to do to justify a longer stay, this book makes me want to move there! Incredibly romantic true story, with recipes and (the reason I'm keeping it) a list of things to do in Venice not found in any guide book. Highly recommended, but you'll have to get it from someone else!

I enjoyed it enough to want to read her following ones. She does write a bit too "poetically" - hard to read at times due to my eyes rolling...

I enjoyed this book, seemed unrealistic at times, but I guess their lives are really romantic and dramatic at times. I liked the author's attention to detail, explaining the food, aromas, atmosphere, people, sights, etc of Venice. I want to go there, that is why I read this book.

I found this book lacking something for me. I like the whole, under the tuscan sun storyline but the pace of the book didn't match the excitement for the change that this person was undertaking. I couldn't finish it.

Venice is one of my favorite cities and I loved the book.
