 An Italian Education: The Further Adventures of an Expatriate in Verona by Tim Parks Tim Parks' first bestseller, Italian Neighbors, chronicled his initiation into Italian society and cultural life. Reviewers everywhere hailed it as a bravissimo performance. Now he turns to his children -- born and bred in Italy -- and their milieu in a small village near Verona. With the splendid eye for detail, character, and intrigue that has brought him acclaim as a novelist, he creates a fascinating portrait of Italian family life, at school, at home, in church, and in the countryside. This panoramic journey winds up with a deliciously seductive evocation of an Italian beach holiday that epitomizes everything that is quintessentially Italian. Here is an insider's Italy, re-created by "one of the most gifted writers of his generation" (Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post). "What Peter Mayle did for Provence, Tim Parks may well do for his adopted home in Italy, the Veneto." --Condé Nast Traveler Paperback 352 pages - 5 1/4" x 8" - (9/96)
