About this listen

'Lyrical, heartrending and compelling' JOJO MOYES on Recipe for Life

Kat is an adventurer, a food writer who travels the world visiting far-flung places and eating unusual things. Now she is about to embark on her biggest adventure yet - a relationship.

She has fallen in love with an Italian man and is moving to live with him in Venice where she will help him run his small guesthouse, Hotel Gondola. Kat has lined up a book deal and will write about the first year of her new adventure, the food she eats, the recipes she collects, the people she meets, the man she doesn't really know all that well but is going to make a life with.

But as Kat ought to know by now, the thing about adventures is that they never go exactly the way you expect them to...

I enjoyed A Year at Hotel Gondola, its an easy listen. I love Venice, so the book was a lovely travelogue which transported me back there and it was easy to imagine the scenes. The story and characters were interesting and believable, the narrator was easy to listen to and her Italian accents sounded authentic. Strangely every chapter number was announced twice, so there were two of every chapter number, even though the story continued normally. A small glitch, but not a problem.

Enjoyable read

Of interest to those who have visited Venice and dreamt of staying longer than a week or two. I enjoyed checking the location of the places and gardens mentioned. The book offered glimpses into living daily life in Venice and the struggle of contemporary Venetians. Not a gripping story but enjoyable because of its setting!
