Can a huge truffle save the village of Lazzarini Boscarino in Italy?

The village is in dire need of tourists, and the eccentric townspeople are ready to give up.

Until...they realize the huge truffle may save them.

The townspeople are fun and loving, and the description of the food and the characters is well done.

Unfortunately, it was a very slow read and didn't really keep my interest.

It will make you want to go to Italy, though, and experience the warmth of these people and share food with them.

The relationships between all the characters is heartwarming and seems very representative of Italians in small villages.

I do have to say I loved the names of the characters and the name of the town, but there were too many characters to keep track of. I see why they had a legend of each character at the beginning of the book.

It is a light read, but too detailed and no action for me. 3/5

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
