'
An inspiring, life-affirming story'
Reader's Digest Philip and Caroline Jones, a middle-aged couple living in Edinburgh, found themselves facing redundancy and an uncertain future.
It's a story told through the history, music, art, architecture (and, of course, the food) of La Serenissima.. and finally, from debugging financial systems on an Edinburgh industrial estate, to building an ordinary life in an extraordinary city, To Venice with Love is a love-letter to a city that changed their lives.
From struggling with the language to battling bureaucracy; the terror of teaching English to Italian teenagers, the company of a modestly friendly cat...
To Venice with Love recounts how they arrived in Venice with ten pieces of luggage, no job, no friends and no long-term place to stay.
They were wrong about the 'simpler' bit...
Their response was to sell everything in order to move to Venice, in search of a better, simpler life.
Until they received some advice from a complete stranger in a pub. '
