It was the craziest decision I have ever made, yet I would make it a million times again. She gave me no choice - she intoxicated me. He liquorice eyes. Her mediterranean skin. Even the sound of her name was like a summons to all my foolish blood. Daniela - one L, smile as you say it to pronounce it correctly - was on her second trip to Australia in six months, far too infrequently for both our liking. So I responded with ease in that Sydney hotel, when she stood naked by the window, after distractedly interrupting what I had been hoping would last forever, and without turning from view, she said softly and without intonation: 'Come to live with me in Italy.' I would do many things for that captivating woman; reason was not one of them. On a holiday trip to Dublin, Australian Chris Harrison was surprised to find himself falling head over heels in love with Daniela, an Italian girl with eyes 'the colour of Guinness' - the girl who persuaded him to leave his Australian life and follow her to Italy. Starting off in Daniela's small home town on the coast of Puglia, Chris embarks on a journey into the heart of Italy, where he meets a host of vividly memorable characters and learns about a very different type of life, one which he is now immersed in for better or for worse. There's a policeman who rearranges crimes to suit the necessary forms and a doctor who prescribes patients his homemade lemon liqueur. Chris' biggest challenge is Daniela's mother, determined to supervise his choice of underwear and build a second storey on her stucco home where the couple might live happily ever after. This is a wonderfully tender and hilarious story about what can happen when you follow your heart into the unknown.
