My Book Review > "One Summer in Tuscany", by Domenica de Rosa

Tuscany and its enrapturing beauty, the strange and sensual atmosphere of an old castle situated in the countryside, nearby Siena, and (bright idea!!) a two weeks teaching session for aspiring authors who just arrived from England (well, for most of them): “One Summer in Tuscany » has everything needed to capture the reader (especially if she -or he- is an aspiring author!). The idea that led to this book is quite original, and I found it really interesting to read this story, to follow the aspiring authors, to discover their failings, their somewhat naive enthusiasm, their fears… Yes, I really enjoyed the first chapters. Sadly, however, the story ends in a nonsensical way, as if the author felt rushed. It’s frustrating!
