Italy is My Boyfriend: A Memoir

Written by Annette Joseph

Narrated by Devon Sorvari

Would wonderful beaches, great sunsets, wild friends, endless cocktails, and fabulous food be enough to keep this relationship together?

Annette Joseph's years in Italy revealed this truth: Italy, in all its multifaceted, glorious history and culture has to be experienced in full. Over almost three decades, Italy has fed, entertained, confused, excited, lured, promised, lied, satisfied, occasionally disappointed, and utterly enchanted her. She's left, but can't stay away-she'll always return. Always. Just like a beloved partner . . .

Italy Is My Boyfriend will take you through the journey of finding love, life, and a sense of home. While often times a lonely, challenging place, never once did the love for this special place waiver. See how one very determined lady finds her dream place in the Tuscan sun.

Reviews for Italy is My Boyfriend

[Annie Schulz Begle · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This book is all about relationships, in Italy, not so much with Italy per se... As the title hinted to that love affair with Italy, and knowing what that love affair with Italy feels like, I was expecting a little more description of the country, the regions, the land, the scenery,the people, the food, etc. I guess I was expecting more of a description of the lover, and the affair. It is, however, a very fluid, honest, and nicely put together book, exquisitely narrated. And yes, it made me go online and look for Tuscan properties... :)

Audio is very bad! Many many stops in the audio!

[Malinda Cracknell · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Whilst the first half of this book is absolutely fantastic, it devolves into a less cohesive story about Italy and travel, and more about the difficulties of friendship and the struggles of buying (and renovating) property in a foreign country. Although a lot of the information is fascinating, it was not what I went into this book for and have come out of it with less understanding of Italy as a country and travel destination and more of the struggles of buying a house.
