Description
Renato Tizzoni is adrift on a sea of ennui. His best friend dead, his daughter a sullen teen, his wife frigid and his Tuscan village facing inundation
...
from a proposed monster dam, he dreams about a trip to Rome. Waking, he decides to implement it. Listening to the stories of the people in his town, Renato begins to write their troubles on a piece of paper to take with him. Soon his quest becomes a town mission that sends him on a wondrous journey to the Vatican where, by chance, he finds a way to save his marriage, his family, and even his village. "This is a sweet and winsome tale without being superficial in the least...a narrative and dialogue that is distinctly, and charmingly, Italian." (Booklist)
