#134. Finding Nino by Marc Llewellyn

Title:
Finding Nino
Author:
Marc Llewellyn
Genre:
Travel/Non-Fiction
Synopsis:
An Britsh Ex-Pat Aussie writer, his wife and their infant son move to Italy for a year to get away from things. They are taken under the wing of a local farmer who takes it upon himself to teach him things he feels they need to know.
Verdict:
The food and life lessons in their experiences were good, his over-romanticisation was a bit obvious but his writing style allowed you to see that and assess a more balanced presentation of events. It wasn’t bad but it has definitely convinced me that I don’t want to move back to the family islands and settle down with a local.
