Three romantic memoirs

Description:

Three of Marlena de Blasi's bestselling romantic, food-entwined memoirs set in luscious Italy now in one deliciously romantic volume. A Thousand days in Venice. When Fernando spots Marlena in a Venice cafe, he believes he's found the one. Marlena is less sure. A divorced American chef and food writer traveling in Italy, she thought she was satisfied with her life. Yet within months of meeting Fernando, she has sold her house in St. Louis, quit her job, given away most of her possessions, kissed her two grown children good-bye, and moved to Venice to marry "the stranger," as she calls Fernando. Tuscan Secrets. These are the further adventures of Marlena and Fernando and their experiences as they move to a small village in Tuscany. An Umbrian Love Story. A lush and evocative account of when Marlena moved with her beloved Fernando to the beautiful town of Orvieto, in Umbria.
