Call Me by Your Name – André Aciman
I picked up Call Me by Your Name while I was traveling through Spain for a long weekend off from school at Södertörn University in Sweden where I was studying abroad for the semester. It is romantic and warm and will leaving you lusting for a sweltering summer day in Italy. Dreamy right?
Under the Tuscan Sun– Frances Mayes
This is a book of heart and soul and olive oil. A nonfiction story about the trials of remodeling a home in Tuscany, Italy. Years before I ever read this book, I went to Tuscany on a trip with the History Club at my high school! Under the Tuscan Sun is packed with picturesque details of Italian culture, language and of course, food. If you need a book to bring some sunlight into the upcoming gloom of Minnesota winters, this is the one for you.
