Loading... An Italian Affairby Laura Fraser
None. I really couldn't identify with a heroine who is devastated when her husband leaves her for another woman and so has an affair with a married man. Also, made me never want to computer date! (  ) sly_wit | Mar 29, 2013 |  How sad that I didn't enjoy Fraser's book about love, Italy and lots of food and wine half as much as I did her book about the weight loss industry. I do want to kick "Jon" in the nuts. Repeatedly. Just because. KaterinaBead | Sep 12, 2011 | 1607230 I had to drag myself through most of this book - the main reason was the endless You's. I found it incredibly irritating to have You in almost every sentence.I also failed to find much interest in the affairs of a woman who knowingly - especially after being cheated on - chose to have an affair with a married man regardless of what he says the circumstances of his marriage are. I can see the romance in a sweeping translantic kind of way but I really dislike infidelity as a lifestyle choice so couldn't involve myself in the story (particularly with the repetitive YOU)I'd give it 1 and a half stars ( ) shelleyraec | May 9, 2011 | I don't know what to make of this travel memoir. It was an enjoyable read on all the places she went. Then, meeting all those interesting people, which of course she had no difficulty. The problem I have with her is the off and on affair with a married man. Yes, the French professor admitted to her, that, his marriage life is not a happy one. Still, in my opinion bed hopping with this proffessor is absulately wrong. I wish she would calm down in searching for that elusive man of her dream. I must say, all the places she went and the food she ate are tantalizing. I sure wish, I could just board a plane heading somewhere on a whim just like her. If you like romance, adventure in an exotic place read this book. I wish she would use to describe her adventure in the first person. (  ) bcBulan-Purnama | Jul 24, 2010 | This is Laura Fraser's dreamy yet practical account of her affair with a married Frenchman, conducted on Italian islands, in Morocco, in San Francisco - basically anywhere they can meet when he has time to get away. I enjoyed it almost as much as her later memoir, All Over the Map. She and the professor have a tender yet clear-eyed relationship. There were also many funny travel stories. The only detraction was that it was told in the second person, which I mostly got used to. (  ) bearette24 | Jul 1, 2010 | no reviews | add a review
