Review: Extremely good read. All sorts of gos about the Italian way of life and very funny to boot. Can't imagine why no one has made a TV series out of this yet. Plenty of interesting characters and adventures and beautifully written. Divertissimo!

Review: Very dated, far too much Italian within the prose. I found it old fashioned and quite boring and gave up at page 50!

    Description: 'All Italy is here' Sunday Times From the bestselling author of Italian Neighbours, An Italian Education and A Season with Verona Longlisted for the Dolman Travel Book Award In 1981 Tim Parks moved from England to Italy and spent the next thirty years alongside hundreds of thousands of Italians on his adopted country's vast, various and ever-changing networks of trains. Through memorable encounters with ordinary Italians - conductors and ticket collectors, priests and prostitutes, scholars and lovers, gypsies and immigrants - Tim Parks captures what makes Italian life distinctive. He explores how trains helped build Italy and how the railways reflect Italians' sense of themselves from Garibaldi to Mussolini to Berlusconi and beyond.
