BRAND NEW Fiction Book - When In Rome: Chasing La Dolce Vita by Penelope Green
With her thirtieth birthday on the horizon and her safe and comfortable life in Sydney outside her front door, Penelope Green decided it was now or never. Undaunted by the fact she spoke absolutely no Italian, had no job, no friends and nowhere to live - and armed only with an Italian-English dictionary, irresistible optimism and a fair dash of bravery, she was determined to carve out her own slice of la dolce vita.
Both frank and funny, Penny tells how she plunged into the deep end of Roman life from her first giddy Vespa ride to daily struggles with the language and culture (not to mention a few lecherous locals), to seeing in her birthday with a kiss from her lover under the floodlit Colosseum.
When in Rome shows what can happen if you are courageous' and perhaps crazy' enough to trade in life as you know it to chase a dream on the other side of the world. With a glam job and fab friends' Sydney journalist and PR executive Penelope Green knew she should have been happy with her lot. So what was missing? Restless at home and determined to turn a long - held dream into a reality' Penny abandoned her comfortable existence and bought a one - way ticket to Italy. The only problem was' she had nowhere to live' knew no one' didnt have a job to go to' and spoke barely a word of Italian. But this wouldnt stop her from chasing la dolce vita. In frank and hilarious detail' Penny writes about her immersion into life in the Eternal City; from her first giddy Vespa ride to wrestling with the Italian language and culture (not to mention a few lecherous locals)' to seeing in her birthday at midnight with a kiss from her lover under the floodlit Colosseum. Experiencing life in Rome with Penny is like travelling with a best friend. She is young' has fun' and has never tried to find herself by restoring a Tuscan farmhouse.
