內容簡介
He saw her across the Piazza San Marco and fell in love fromafar. When he sees her again in a Venice café a year later, heknows it is fate. He knows little English; and she, a divorcedAmerican chef, speaks only food-based Italian. Marlena thinks sheis incapable of intimacy, that her heart has lost its capacity forromantic love. But within months of their first meeting, she haspacked up her house in St. Louis to marry Fernando—“the stranger,”as she calls him—and live in that achingly lovely city in whichthey met.
Vibrant but vaguely baffled by this bold move, Marlena isoverwhelmed by the sheer foreignness of her new home, its ritualsand customs. But there are delicious moments when Venice opens upits arms to Marlena. She cooks an American feast of Mississippicaviar, cornbread, and fried onions for the locals . . . and takesthe tango she learned in the Poughkeepsie middle school gym to acandlelit trattoría near the Rialto Bridge. All the while, she andFernando, two disparate souls, build an extraordinary life ofpassion and possibility.
Featuring Marlena’s own incredible recipes, A Thousand Days inVenice is the enchanting true story of a woman who opens herheart—and falls in love with both a man and a city.
