Beautifully written, witty, and concise, it recounts the process by which they became initiated into a part of Italian life foreigners rarely see.

Landscape and weather provide the stuff of reverie, as do the benefits of boredom and the longing for peanut butter. A celebration and exploration of a little-known part of Italy,
In Maremma is a fond if sometimes critical corrective to other more rapturous portrayals of Tuscany.
