Riassunto

Naïve and already war-weary, James Gouding takes up a position in Naples in 1943. What he doesn't anticipate is that this involves a limited menu of fried Spam fritters and interrogating the would-be Italian fiancees of members of the armed forces. James's chance at true heroism arrives when a German tank is sighted and he is caught in its path. However, it is the imperious and dogmatic Livia who opens the hatch and yells at him to stop being such an idiot.

Livia gladly becomes cook, translator and general factotum to James. The two begin to fall in love, but the eruption of Vesuvius triggers a chain of explosive events that will force the two to flee behind enemy lines and will alter their lives immeasurably.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

Full of the same colour and verve as Capella's THE FOOD OF LOVE, this story also blends romance with gourmet delights (GOOD HOUSEKEEPING)

THE WEDDING OFFICER resembles a cross between CAPTAIN CORELLI'S MANDOLIN and CHOCOLAT, while remaining a charming and powerful fiction in its own right (Michael Arditti)

This is an engaging tale. It brims with fascinating historical detail, an infectious enthusiasm for southern Italy and its cuisine and is an undemanding and sympathetic love story (SUNDAY TIMES)

Spicy, funny, delicious and sexy, this is the perfect holiday book (EVENING HERALD)

Descrizione del libro:

A sumptuous tale of food to heal the deepest wounds, of the hungers of war and the bittersweet nature of love.
