Free Download Pinch Me: Waking Up in a 300-Year-Old Italian Farmhouse by Barbara Boyle
English | February 11, 2025 | ISBN: 1647428327 | True EPUB | 216 pages | 6.8 MB
For fans of Stanley Tucci and Frances Mayes, Barbara Boyle's story of leaving her California home to restore an old stone farmhouse in Italy's Piedmont-only to fall in love with the food and people of her enchanting new town-will delight and inspire.
An updated twist on the classic Under the Tuscan Sun, this is the deeply personal story of how fiftysomething Barbara Boyle leaves her busy and familiar life behind in San Francisco and begins taking apart a 300-year-old stone barn to build a new home-a new life-in the largely undiscovered region of Piedmont, Italy.
Filled with discoveries and pleasures of the stunning places and food she encounters, Pinch Me also details Barbara's frustrations in adjusting to a new culture, as well as the startling heartbreak of being faced with a breast cancer diagnosis. But even in the midst of this crisis, she and her husband create a home out of the stone ruin they had found, forming deep friendships in their little town and unlocking a new level of joy in life. She shares intimate moments, joyous and bittersweet, as a new wife, stepmom, and a member of a community-and, of course, she shares a few recipes reflecting the gastronomical excellence of the region.
A touching memoir filled with food, friendships, and scenes of Italy, Pinch Me is ultimately a celebration of love, of learning to see the world, as well as oneself, through a different window, and of the powerful joy that comes from building a dream.
