BOOK PRESENTATION: Only in Naples: Lessons in Food and Famiglia from my Italian Mother-in-Law
Katherine Wilson



Only in Naples: Lessons in Food and Famiglia from my Italian Mother-in-Law is a spellbinding journey into the heart of Neapolitan life. Steeped in sunlight, wine and unforgettable food, the memoir is a love letter to a city and a family, a coming-of-age story, and a transporting account of learning to live the Italian way.

Kirkus Reviews calls it "an exuberant account of love and great Italian food," Booklist describes it as "vivid, candid… hilariously honest", and the Daily Mirror "deliciously entertaining." New York Times best-selling author and filmmaker Adriana Trigiani calls the book a "glorious memoir celebrating the holy trinity of Italian life: love, food and family. (Katherine Wilson's) keen eye and sense of humor takes you through the winding streets of Naples at a clip, on a ride you hope will never end. If you love Italy, or the idea of it, you will love this book."

Renowned best-selling New York Times restaurant critic, author and chef Ruth Reichl writes: "In a world filled with food memoirs, this one stands out. Katherine Wilson gives us more than the fabulous food of Naples. She offers us a passport to an exotic country we would never be able to enter on our own." Only in Naples was BBC national radio's Book of the Week in June, 2016.
