#33. Girl By Sea by Penelope Green

Title:

Girl By Sea

Author:

Penelope Green

Genre:

Travel/Non-Fiction

Synopsis:

An Aussie girl who moved to Italy two books ago – ‘When In Rome’ ‘See Naples and Die’ continues to wrestle with the language, the culture and life in general as she and her Italian partner try life on the island of Procida outside of Naples.

Verdict:

Seems a bit less self-indulgent than the first two, slower paced lifestyle, all the constant talk of food makes me so damn hungry! The outsider’s assessment of a living culture and attempts to communicate in a second language are the most interesting part of Penelope Green’s books, not that fussed by her relationship stories.
