Book Review: Marcus of Umbria
, Wrote an amazing guest post for GFS about the life lessons she learned from eating locally in Italy. Today, I’m happy to share my review of Justine’s book which is rich with stories about food, farming, and Italian traditions.
The story begins in New York where Justine, in her mid-twenties, is struggling to find her place. She’s got the magazine job she always wanted, and a boyfriend who seems perfect on paper, but she yearns for something different, mainly because she understands that she is different. Enter a handsome Italian gardener she meets on vacation in Umbria and boom, Justine packs up her Brooklyn apartment and moves to the 200-person farming village of Collelungo. The bloom is quickly off the rose with the gardener, but Justine becomes deeply enmeshed with his family. Justine also finds a neglected, nameless English pointer living alone in an outdoor pen. Initially believing the dog is male, she gives it the very British name of Marcus, only to find that she’s a lady. Justine keeps the name and takes on the dog which is sick with worms, eye infections and is terrified of most everyone. Unfortunately, Justine—who is already considered an outsider—officially becomes the town kook for bringing a hunting dog, something the locals feel should be kept outdoors, into her home and heart. Marcus increasingly by her side, Justine learns about companionship, admiration, respect, and in the end, a mixture of love and fate helps her decide to take Marcus back home to the United States.
The first thing I loved about Marcus of Umbria , but certainly the schmaltz about sunflowers and gelato is no longer acceptable.
Justine accurately describes all of Italy’s geographic, culinary, and cultural virtues without ever resorting to stereotypes. She also provides a wonderful window into the nature of Italians via her descriptions of daily life with the Cruciani family and people in Collelungo. They are both warm and loving in their unquestioning acceptance of their lives and each other, as well as hard and resistant to even beneficial change.
