Su questo libro

Recensione:

“A dark-chocolate version of Peter Mayle’s milkier offering... Tough, funny and sceptical.” –Tatler

“Italian Neighbours is not about the escape to an idyll, but about a different way of living. It’s a clever job Parks has pulled off (and seriously instructive).” –City Limits

L'autore:

Tim Parks studied at Cambridge and Harvard and now lives near Verona with his wife and three children. His novel, Europa, was shortlisted for the Booker Prize.
