An eighteen-year-old American girl, who confesses that she always dreads parties that turn out fine, sails to Italy and settles with her companions in a new home in Florence. Lunches, lessons, compliments from Signor Paggi and new friends such as Miss Parrish and Mr. Wake make up her chatty account.
A breezy coming-of-age story of Americans abroad, written with humour and an eye for Florentine life. Download the free EPUB.
