Review of: Ripe for the Picking by Annie Hawes

5/5 (minimum 1)

by hockeyshooter on 06 Apr 2008

Read this book whilst on holiday in Liguria - quite appropriate considering this is the subject of this outstanding novel by Annie Hawes. It tells the tale of an English woman who has relocated to a little cottage in the hills above Diano Marina, just along the coast from Imperia in the region of Liguria, Italy. Superbly written, very funny and, as I can personally attest, and accurate portrayal of Ligurian life. This is one of the 'happiest' books I've read in a long time. Thoroughly recommended.

Note that this book is a sequel to the best-seller 'Extra Virgin' which I would suggest you read first if you're interested.
