Susan Kelley writes a hilarious memoir of one couple’s sixteen-year romp living, working, and playing in the artistic treasure house of the Western world. In delightful and always-surprising chapters, she relates the compelling adventures of a writer and artist finding their true path in life while encountering a cast of unforgettable characters, ranging from the endearing residents of Florence to a consecrated nun, Italian royalty, a legendary rock star, and of course the indomitable "Ciao Pussy"! Epically romantic and full of color, Kelley’s descriptions of Italy are absolutely gorgeous. Her voice is genuine and relatable. She and her husband have lived what many people would consider a dream. SUSAN KELLEY WRITES WITH A MISCHIEVOUS WIT AND AN EYE FOR EVERY DELECTABLE DETAIL. HER STORYTELLING IS LIQUID LAUGHTER--IT'S BLOODY FUNNY--AND YET POIGNANCY ABOUNDS. --BRIAN JOHNSON, LEAD SINGER, AC/DC
