Don’t you love a book that has the power to pull you out of your seat and drop you in a whole other setting? These three novels do that! (And they’re really good!)
“Tartufo” by Kira Jane Buxton absolutely sets you down in a rural Italian village in the Tuscan hills, with “colluding clusters of hazelnut and cypress trees. Olive orchards, vineyards, lemon groves. Cascading terraces and the lovely blossoms of pastel pink and yellow houses.” The colorful descriptions paint pictures in the reader’s mind, the tiny details really building the sense of place. It’s a treat for the senses. It’s also funny.
