A lavish summer in Tuscany
Bewertet mit 3.5 Sternen
This book definitely makes you want to spend your next vacation in Tuscany. With the elaborate accounts of Maisies visits to Siena, Pisa and Florence, the book could almost serve as a travel guide. And food guide as well, since plenty of Italian dishes are described in detail. This creates a great atmosphere of a lavish Italian summer.
Unfortunately, for me it also made the story feel rather factual instead of emotional, with Sue Roberts enumerating Maisies every move, thought, place she goes, thing she eats and people she sees. For me it was a tad overdone.
Also, it was a bit too smooth sailing for Maisie as well as her friends when everything fell into place so perfectly. I was missing a bit of an edge, a realistic touch (and the accident is not what I mean here).
With that being said, I still enjoyed reading about Maisies holiday under the beautiful Tuscan sun!
