Venice is hard to explain to someone who has not been there; it's a city in the past living out the present, as it has for hundreds of years. One wonders what goes on between the canals, in all the second floors of all the buildings that can only be reacted by pedestrian bridges or water taxis. Reading this book after such a trip makes it all the more enjoyable. The addition of recipes in a biography must surely be a first. Also, the use of an autobiographical format to tell a love story, is also very unusual. If there's one fault in the book, it's that we want to more about Marlena's life, both before her U.S. life fell apart but especially after she has been married for several years, after the book's conclusion. It really deserves an Epilogue, but this in no way diminishes the romance, coupled with the pleasures of the water city. But I would like to know her husband('the stranger')'s last name which as I recall, is never even mentioned in the book.
