Big Cities and Mountain Villages

About this ebook
Three months in the Italian Alps makes an idyllic holiday.
After a typical tour of Italy, Noor heads north to spend a nice, quiet winter with her Grandma. It's going to be great. She'll go for walks and enjoy the fresh mountain air, read by the wood-burning stove and under no circumstances use the chamber pot under the bed.
At least, that was the plan.
She didn't plan on running out of money. Or riding on the back of a bicycle, in traffic, with no helmet on. Oh, and there was that one time a giant pig tried to force his way into the kitchen. And there's so much she's forgotten about her childhood in Italy – like how the water freezer in the pipes, how cold it is using the outdoor toilet and how the Church bells ring every hour of the day and night. But, it's all part of the fun when you're living in a five hundred year old house in a mountain village.
Between day trips to ancient festivals, exploring neighbouring cities and being smuggled into her friend's school, Noor will need a holiday to recover from her holiday.
This is a light-hearted and amusing memoir of an expat's return to Italy. If you enjoy travel tales about family and friends, local festivals and foods, then grab your copy today!
Big Cities and Mountain Villages is the first book of Noor's Travel Tales trilogy, but the books in this series can be read on their own and in any order. If you prefer to read them in order, start with 'Big Cities and Mountain Villages' followed by 'Falafels and Bedouins', and 'Christmas Lights and Carnevale'. Or, get all three as an e-book box-set.
Noor De Olinad
A proud bookworm, Noor has evolved from being a VIP library member to writing her own books. With a deep seated curiosity about people's stories and how the world works, Noor's writing style utilises vivid imagery and delicate sarcasm. An idealist and a dreamer (an idealist dreamer), her humour is ready, sophisticated and often cynical. Loyal and caring, Noor is devoted to her family which includes a cat with expensive taste, and a dog who wants whatever the cat is having. When not maintaining the peace between the pets, Noor is turning her scribbled stories into published books for your convenience. Happy reading!
