Kate Langbroek’s memoir captures her humorous and inspiring journey of moving to Italy with her family in search of la dolce vita. Initially, Kate envisioned a picturesque life filled with long lunches and leisurely strolls, reminiscent of a Sophia Loren film. However, the reality of uprooting her family—four children and a successful career in radio—seemed daunting. Despite not speaking Italian and knowing no one in Italy, the allure of this adventure proved too strong to resist. The decision was fueled by a desire to embrace life more fully after nearly losing their son, Lewis, to leukaemia. In this memoir, Kate shares the joys and chaos of adapting to life in Bologna, revealing profound insights about herself as she navigates a foreign culture. Her experiences highlight the beauty of pursuing dreams and the lessons learned from living in a new land. With humor and depth, Kate's love letter to Italy and her family serves as a reminder of the importance of cherishing life’s moments, especially when faced with challenges. It’s a celebration of family, adventure, and the invaluable lessons Italians impart about living fully, even when life feels overwhelming.
