Big Cities and Mountain Villages: A humorous travel memoir of a holiday in Italy

An idyllic holiday in the Italian Alps...

After a typical tour of Italy, Noor heads north to spend a nice, quiet winter with her Grandma. It's going to be great. She'll go for walks and enjoy the fresh mountain air, read by the wood-burning stove and under no circumstances use the chamber pot under the bed.

At least, that was the plan.

She didn't plan on running out of money. Or riding on the back of a bicycle, in traffic, with no helmet on. Oh, and there was that one time a giant pig tried to force his way into the kitchen.

And there's so much she's forgotten about her childhood in Italy – like how the water freezer in the pipes, how cold it is using the outdoor toilet and how the Church bells ring every hour of the day and night. But, it's all part of the fun when you're living in a five hundred year old house in a mountain village.

Between day trips to ancient festivals, exploring neighbouring cities and being smuggled into her friend's school, Noor will need a holiday to recover from her holiday.

This is a light-hearted and amusing memoir of an expat's return to Italy. If you enjoy travel tales about family and friends, local festivals and foods, then grab your copy today!

Big Cities and Mountain Villages is the first book of Noor's Travel Tales trilogy, but the books in this series can be read on their own and in any order.

About the Author

Noor is the author of the light-hearted and amusing travel memoirs ‘Big Cities and Mountain Villages’, ‘Falafels and Bedouins’ and ‘Christmas Lights and Carnevale’. She loves the simple things in life - good food, good company and a house full of fur-kids. When she’s not waiting hand and foot on her cat and dog (who must have been emperors in a previous life), Noor likes to try new recipes. Amazingly, her husband tries them all. Even if they don’t resemble the pictures in the recipe books. Between writing, playing with the fur-kids and experimenting in the kitchen, Noor successfully avoids doing housework.
