Extra Virgin: a Young Woman Discovers the Italian Riveria Where Every Month is Enchanted

Annie Hawes


In 1983, Annie Hawes and her equally pale sister decide to leave England for the sun-drenched olive groves of a small Italian town in Liguria, and it's love at first sight. Annie, who never wanted to settle down anywhere, now doesn't want to leave, and sets her sights on a particular farmhouse she wants to make her own. This is her memoir of her wonderful 18 years living as a Ligurian.
