Good Points

I loved have absolutely loved all three of Annie Hawes books.
The observations about village life in Italy were fantastic, humourous and spot on.

Bad Points

In "Ripe for the Picking" I would have loved to read a great deal more - probably even a whole book more - about buying the vineyards and the mountainside and how that episode of life developed. Sadly as we get to that point the book ends. There were so many wonderful episodes packed into "Ripe for the Picking" - I loved all of it and I wanted to read more. This storyline isnt continued in the next book "Journey to the South" which takes us off to Calabria for a trip. This is enjoyable in itself and this ends enticingly with Ciccio discovering his inherited land with a view of Scily. Once again I was hooked and I think another entire book on this storylline would be fantastic.

General Comments

Please write some more books - I want to continue my adventures in Liguria and find out what happened with the vineyard and also the land in Calabria.

I save these books for my holidays in Italy and now I have run out ... please write some more!
