About this listen
Pip and Shannon dreamed of living the good life. They wanted to slow down, grow their own food and spend more time with the people they love. But jobs and responsibilities got in the way – their chooks died, their fruit rotted and Pip ended up depressed and in therapy. So they did the only reasonable thing – they quit their jobs, pulled the children out of school and went searching for la dolce vita in Italy.
Pip sleeps in a woodshed, feasts under a Tuscan sun, works like a tractor in Calabria and, eventually, finds her dream – though it’s not at all the one she expected.

Realising a dream
Beautiful account of a Italian courageous adventure. Taking the plunge to realise a dream with a limited budget and two young boys… kudos!

Refreshing
Pip reveals so much about herself in this book and we leave thinking we have Bev recounting a journey with a friend.

A moment of quiet escapism
Perfect for those looking for a calm escape. The tempo and tone was almost meditative.

Escapism lived out
For anyone who’s ever undertaken a trip of self discovery in Europe - this will bring back all those delightful memories of false starts, embracing beauty, misunderstandings and the kindness of strangers.
Leaves you feeling like your faith in humanity can be restored- just like travelling!

A beautiful scenery and enjoyable reading
A book about changes, dreams and life. What life is about and how we need change and adapt from it. And change again because even dreams evolve❤️

A relaxing read
A bit repetitive at times but I enjoyed it and felt a bit envious of the lifestyle. A good insight of country Italy and if you are thinking of travelling there worth noting how to escape the touristy part of travel and enjoy the real Italy
