Desiring Italy by Susan Cahill
A rich anthology of fiction, memoir and essays, Desiring Italy is both literature and traveler’s companion. Editor Susan Cahill has artfully collected pieces from 28 women writers–Mary McCarthy, George Eliot, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Muriel Spark, Edith Wharton and Barbara Grizzuti Harrison among them–each with its own voice, perspective and subject, but all possessing a common thread: the allure, soul and sensuality of Italy. Whether Harrison’s reflections on Sicily or McCarthy’s musings on Tuscany, the perennial seductiveness and timeless beauty of Italy come alive in these pages.
