IHSI Book Club – June 2027
June 16th – Italian Neighbors by Tim Park
Summary
An entertaining account of expatriate life in a small village just outside Verona, Italy. Via Colombare, the village’s main street, offers an exemplary hodgepodge of all that is new and old in the bel paese, a point of collision between invading suburbia and diehard peasant tradition. Neighbors is a vivid portrait of the real Italy and a compelling story of how even the most foreign people and places gradually assume the familiarity of home.
