The Italian Files Book Club
A bi monthly book club that provides a selection of my highly recommended must reads for an Italian escape.
Weather you are dreaming of Italy or are a fan of the classic European love story, this book club will not disappoint. We can all use a little escape. Especially now, and what better destination than the seductive Mediterranean region where la dolce vita not only exists but thrives.
There are countless novels in this genre. When searching for my next story I am always overwhelmed at the choices. For this reason, I wanted to share a handful of my absolute favorites with you every two months.
ROME IN LOVE BY ANITA HUGHES
Actress Amelia Tate is living a modern-day Roman Holiday when cast as the lead role in the ever-classic film. It’s the discovery of letters written by Audrey Hepburn herself that put her heartbreak and outlook on life into perspective.

This is a STAPLE under the I dream of Italy category. Frances Mayes will have you wanting to book a one-way ticket to the rolling hills of Tuscany to your very own fixer upper- villa edition.
A THOUSAND DAYS IN VENICE BY MARLENA DE BLASI

BEAUTIFUL RUINS BY JESS WALTER
A story of romance, tragedy and the power of an unrelenting daydream spanning from a 1960s Ligurian fishing village to modern day Hollywood. An introspective novel of hope will have you cheering for Pasquale until the end.
