Tim Parks 
Italian Neighbours [EPUB ebook] 
An Englishman in Verona

"Am I giving the impression that I don’t like the Veneto? It’s not true. I love it. But like any place that’s become home I hate it too."How does an Englishman cope when he moves to Italy – not the tourist idyll but the real Italy? When Tim Parks first moved to Verona he found it irresistible and infuriating in equal measure; this book is the story of his love affair with it. Infused with an objective passion, he unpicks the idiosyncrasies and nuances of Italian culture with wit and affection. Italian Neighbours is travel writing at its best.
