Summers In Supino: Becoming Italian

Description

Every summer Maria and Bob went to their little house in the Italian village of Supino and every year, it was a new adventure. Only in Supino would you find a pizzeria in a sheep pasture, a restaurant in the woods specialising in fish or an electrical cord draped from one balcony to the next so neighbours could share power. Written with humour, Summers in Supino is Maria Coletta McLean's memoir of these summers, as she becomes accustomed to the town her father grew up in and the peculiarities of the people who live there.

Maria Coletta McLean is the author of the bestselling memoir "My Father Came from Italy" and the editor of "Mamma Mia! Good Italian Girls Talk Back." She was the recipient of the 2002 Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal for her contribution to Canadian literature. She lives in Toronto.

"The kind of narrative that you can't help but love. When you relax into the first chapter of this book you automatically know that you don't want to do anything else for the duration. A warm cup of tea, a spot near the fireplace and this book made for a perfect evening of reading enjoyment." -- Readful Things
