Only in Italy: A Memoir of Mishap, Mayhem and Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781764648110)

He Went to Italy to Learn Italian, Not to Fall in Love.

When Michael Francis joins an Italian for Beginners class, he figures he'll pick up enough of the language to order coffee and ask for directions.

What he doesn't expect are standoffs with ill-tempered street vendors, and white-knuckle bus rides on narrow mountain highways, to say nothing of the whirlwind romance that nobody, least of all Michael, saw coming.

Warm, laugh-out-loud funny, and brimming with the sort of Italian nuances no guidebook dare mention, Only in Italy is the perfect read for anyone who has ever embraced a new challenge - only to look like a complete fool in the process.

Fans of Bill Bryson, A Year in Provence and Under the Tuscan Sun will feel right at home.
