About this title

Review:

"A dark-chocolate version of Peter Mayle's milkier offering... Tough, funny and sceptical." -"Tatler "Italian Neighbours is not about the escape to an idyll, but about a different way of living. It's a clever job Parks has pulled off (and seriously instructive)." -"City Limits

Book Description:

'I recommend his book to all those who are fed up with accounts of roughing it agreeably in Tuscany and similar junk that scarcely scratches the surface of the real Italy' - Daily Telegraph
