They’ve checked out all of Italy’s best hotels, attractions, shops, wineries, and restaurants in person, and offer authoritative, candid reviews that will help you find the venues that suit your tastes and budget, whether you’re a backpacker or on a romantic honeymoon. Most importantly, none of these journalists are shy about telling you what you should see…and what you can skip without regret. As well, no entity has paid to be in this guide—or any Frommer’s guide. At Frommer’s, we pride ourselves on decades of journalistic integrity. With helpful advice and honest recommendations from Frommer’s expert authors, you’ll walk among the ancient ruins of Pompeii, float along the canals of Venice, appreciate Renaissance masterworks in Florence, explore off-the-beaten-path Puglia and live la dolce vita in Rome―as well as discover timeless wonders such as the vineyards of Tuscany and cliff-top towns perched along the Amalfi Coast and the Cinque Terre.

Bitter Lemons of CyprusLawrence Durrell
From the New York Times –bestselling author of the Alexandria Quartet: "A superlative piece of . . . writing . . . rooted in the Mediterranean scene" ( Time ). In 1953, as the British Empire relaxes its grip upon the world, the island of Cyprus bucks for independence. Some cry for union with Athens, others for an arrangement that would split the island down the middle, giving half to the Greeks and the rest to the Turks. For centuries, the battle for the Mediterranean has been fought on this tiny spit of land, and now Cyprus threatens to rip itself in half. Into this escalating conflict steps Lawrence Durrell—poet, novelist, and a former British government official. After years serving the Crown in the Balkans, he yearns for a return to the island lifestyle of his youth. With humor, grace, and passable Greek, Durrell buys a house, secures a job, and settles in for quiet living, happy to put up his feet until the natives begin to consider wringing his neck. More than a travel memoir, this is an elegant picture of island life in a changing world.

A Time of GiftsPatrick Leigh Fermor & Jan Morris
A young Englishman recounts the first leg of his legendary 1934 walk from London to Constantinople in this memoir by “one of the greatest travel writers of all time” ( Sunday Times ). At the age of 18, Patrick Leigh Fermor set off from the heart of London on an epic journey—to walk to Constantinople. A Time of Gifts is the rich account of his adventures as far as Hungary, after which Between the Woods and the Water continues the story to the Iron Gates that divide the Carpathian and Balkan mountains. Acclaimed for its sweep and intelligence, Leigh Fermor’s book explores a remarkable moment in time. Hitler has just come to power but war is still ahead, as he walks through a Europe soon to be forever changed—through the Lowlands to Mitteleuropa, to Teutonic and Slav heartlands, through the baroque remains of the Holy Roman Empire; up the Rhine, and down to the Danube. At once a memoir of coming-of-age, an account of a journey, and a dazzling exposition of the English language, A Time of Gifts is also a portrait of a continent already showing ominous signs of the holocaust to come.

Road Trip to the RivieraGillian Harvey
An utterly escapist story about a journey to remember through the French countryside, from the bestselling author of The Bordeaux Book Club. 🇫🇷🥐🚐 💕 When Sarah breaks her leg, her only thought is how on earth she’ll get to the south of France for her beloved son’s wedding. She’s been told not to fly, and the train route involves many changes – not ideal when you can barely walk. There’s only one person she can turn to. Her son’s father, Hal. The pair were teenage sweethearts when Sarah fell pregnant, and he’s always been in his son’s life. Only his parenting style is more ‘fun uncle’ than serious dad; all the ‘proper parenting’ has been left to Sarah. He’s oblivious. She’s furious. But she’s out of options. And Hal is happy to drive her, with one proviso: they’re taking the scenic route, in his battered VW camper van. Now, two people – whose lives have only been intertwined through their child for more than twenty years – are about to find out there is far more of a journey ahead for them than either could possibly anticipate… An unmissable story, perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Veronica Henry and Faith Hogan – available now! Readers are loving Road Trip to the Riviera: ‘It was such a pleasure to spend a few days with Sarah and Hal as they rediscovered each other on the way to their son’s wedding.

Highly recommended, especially if you are about to go on holiday!’ Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A heartwarmingly touching story and I loved it.’ Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Gillian Harvey’s heartwarming and entertaining writing draws you in from the very beginning.

LondonersCraig Taylor
“A rich and exuberant kaleidoscopic portrait of a great, messy, noisy, daunting, inspiring, maddening, enthralling, constantly shifting Rorschach test of a place. . . . Delightful. . . . In Taylor’s patient and sympathetic hands, regular people become poets, philosophers, orators.” -- New York Times Book Review Londoners is a fresh and compulsively readable view of one of the world's most fascinating cities–a vibrant narrative portrait of the London of our own time, featuring unforgettable stories told by the real people who make the city hum. Acclaimed writer and editor Craig Taylor has spent years traversing every corner of the city, getting to know the most interesting Londoners, including the voice of the London Underground, a West End rickshaw driver, an East End nightclub doorperson, a mounted soldier of the Queen's Life Guard at Buckingham Palace, and a couple who fell in love at the Tower of London—and now live there. With candor and humor, this diverse cast—rich and poor, old and young, native and immigrant, men and women (and even a Sarah who used to be a George)—shares indelible tales that capture the city as never before. Together, these voices paint a vivid, epic, and wholly original portrait of twenty-first-century London in all its breadth, from Notting Hill to Brixton, from Piccadilly Circus to Canary Wharf, from an airliner flying into London Heathrow Airport to Big Ben and Tower Bridge, and down to the deepest tunnels of the London Underground. Londoners is the autobiography of one of the world's greatest cities. A Sweeping Social History: Discover modern Britain through the candid and unforgettable voices of its people—from currency traders and street cleaners to dominatrices and the pilot of a Heathrow-bound flight. An Intimate Portrait of London: Journey beyond the tourist landmarks into the real, lived-in city, from the immigrant communities of the East End to the corridors of power in the Square Mile, as told by the people who know it best. Voices of a Global City: Experience the triumphs, frustrations, and quiet moments of urban life, including the story of a couple who fell in love at the Tower of London and the confessions of a former Londoner who couldn’t wait to leave. Urban Exploration: Follow author Craig Taylor as he traverses every corner of the metropolis, from the deepest Underground tunnels to the sky above, collecting the stories that make up the city’s true autobiography.
