The lady in the Palazzo

When Marlena moves with her husband to the small town of Orvieto, a large and ancient city in Umbria, to renovate a dilapidated sixteenth-century palazzo, she realises that the fastest way into the hearts and homes of her new neighbours is through their stomachs. In her third memoir about life in Italy, Marlena de Blasi returns with all of the sumptuous prose and delectable descriptions of the place she calls home, the food that she prepares, and best of all, the people she meets. Recipes included.
