I was excited to read this because I, too, was born in Naples to a Neapolitan mother but left early due to my American military father receiving orders elsewhere. However, I did grow up eating my mom’s cooking, but I am not a seafood lover (much to mamma’s chagrin.) So I’ll see if my library has this book but probably won’t order it based on this excellent and honest review. (I’m a new follower btw via the Pizza Night review. Nice to meet ya!)

Thanks for reading! I would love to hear your thoughts on the book as a Neapolitan if you get your hands on it.
Alas my library doesn’t have it for me to read…
