Just finished reading Dinner for One. Such an emotional rollercoaster, from cringe at the prgrammes people run in their lives, to pride, to laughter, to crying and all the way round again. Excellent stuff!

Hi Emma,

Firstly CONGRATULATIONS for the book 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

I never understood why some books are sold only in few countries, why not trying to sell it in other places?

I thought this only because a lot of times I had to buy books online because aren’t available in Italy.

Anyway I find interesting the topic of ur book, I still don’t understand why for the majority of people it’s strange having solo table or travel.

In Italy if u take a table for one everyone would look at u so badly, more or less like if u had asked them to eat their firstborn, it’s well accepted only if u are out for business or u are a tourist.

Honestly cleaning the house the day of ur book I think have a lot of sense, it could be considered therapeutic put everything in order or simply useful since the fact I think u will have really intense days so it could be difficult cleaning the house, the flowers and the vase are wonderful!

Again congratulations for the book and if u need suggestions for Tuscany and Florence u can write to me in DM at any time.

But if u go to Florence u HAVE to find the “buca per il vino” “holes for wine” are small windows where u see only the hand of the waiter that gave to u wine, were an old way to serve wine during the period of plague in the past and “thanks” to Covid they decided to reopen it, now it’s a big success.

Have a great day!

It was nothing, u will fall in love of Tuscany (I have no idea if is ur first time). For the buchette del vino there are two very near to the Duomo and Santa Maria Novella: one in Via delle Belle Donne, 11/13r and another in Piazza degli Strozzi 2.

If u have time you have to see the David, but u have to book the tickets otherwise it would be impossible visiting the Galleria Dell’Accademia where there is the David.

After the pandemic Italy is FULL of tourists it’s almost incredible.

Laura! The “holes for wine” sound fabulous! 🤣🤣🤣

I think it’s one of the best Italian’s invention! I read now that were made for also other reasons, but still I don’t understand why they waited a pandemic to use the buchette del vino again. It’s a brilliant idea plus it’s like being served by the hand of the Family Addams.

Huge congrats on the release of your book baby! I find it odd how sometimes release day can be underwhelming - all this work to lead up to 24 hours that's supposed to be perfect, but the more books I write, the less attached I become to the outcome. I just want to sit in my peaceful satisfaction of doing my job the best I could at the time. Can't wait for the US launch!
