Italian Neighbors
by Tim Parks

In this deliciously seductive account of an Italian neighborhood with a statue of the Virgin at one end of the street, a derelict bottle factory at the other, and a wealth of exotic flora and fauna in between, acclaimed novelist Tim Parks celebrates ten years of living with his wife, Rita, in Verona, Italy. More than a travel book, Italian Neighbors is a sparkling, witty, beautifully observed tale of how the most curious people and places gradually assume the familiarity of home. Italian Neighbors is a rare work that manages to be both a portrait and an invitation for everyone who has ever dreamed about Italy.

Selected as a New York Times Notable Book of the Year

"Delightful. . . . Mr. Parks splendidly characterizes his Italian neighbors and their hang-ups [and] has a keen ear for everyday speech. "
--The New York Times
