SWEET HONEY BITTER LEMONS Matthew Fort - Travels in Sicily on a Vespa (Italy)

This looks like a great read for travel foodies into Italy, and Vespas, it's quite hard to find too.

This is a used travel book in good to very good condition: nice and clean with light reading wear to corners and spine; excellent binding; pages are clean and aging lightly. See photos for cover blurb and sample pages. The book in the photos is the actual book you will receive - we never use stock pictures - enjoy!

Publisher's blurb: 'Sicily struck me then as the most fascinating place I had ever visited. I didn't change that opinion over the intervening years, no matter where I travelled. I meant to go back. Time and again I made plans. Time and again I was thwarted.'

At the age of twenty-six Matthew Fort first visited the island of Sicily. He and his brother arrived in 1973 expecting sun, sea and good food, but they were totally unprepared for the lifelong effect of this most extraordinary of islands. Thirty years later, older and a bit wiser - but no less greedy - Matthew finally returns. Travelling round the island on his scooter, Monica, he samples exquisite antipasti in rundown villages, delicate pastries in towns that clung to the edge of vertical hillsides, and goes fishing for anchovies beneath a star-scattered sky. Once again this enigmatic island casts its spell, and Matthew rediscovers its beauty, the intensity of its flavours, and finds himself digging into the darkness of Sicily's past as well as some mysteries of his own.
