A to Z of Living in Southern Italy: the Beautiful South John Tallon Jones

If you have ever felt the need to leave your own country and move to Southern Italy, then this book is for you, as this is exactly what the writer did, over 17 years ago. The A to Z of living in Southern Italy gives the reader an insight into his experiences, and goes through everything from, family life, health care, dentists, small town culture and lots more. With incidents thrown in such as reporting a fire to the emergency services and getting an answer-phone message, this book has everything that you need to know about what it is like to be an Englishman coping with life in the south of Italy. After such a long time away from England, the writer now classes Italy as his home, and feels native enough to complain about the country he has come to love and hate. Having had to compromise to come to terms with an unfamiliar way of life, the writer admits to many changes that he sees in himself, but the one thing that has not been compromised by life in the south is the ironic English humour which flavours each page.
