"If you loved Under the Tuscan Sun , you'll love this." -- Red Magazine Pull up a chair for the true story of the Umbrian Thursday night supper club. Every week on a Thursday evening, a group of four Italian rural women gather in a derelict stone house in the hills above Italy's Orvieto. There -- along with their friend, Marlena -- they cook together, sit down to a beautiful supper, drink their beloved local wines, and talk. Here, surrounded by candle light, good food and friendship, Miranda, Ninucia, Paolina and Gilda tell their life stories of loves lost and found, of ageing and abandonment, of mafia grudges and family feuds, and of cherished ingredients and recipes whose secrets have been passed down through the generations. Around this table, these five friends share their food and all that life has offered them -- the good and the bad. For fans of all things Italian, and the thousands of readers who loved Deborah Rodriquez's The Kabul Beauty School ; Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love and Deborah Moggach's Best Exotic Marigold Hotel . Review: Buon Appetito! - I just loved this book. The relationships between these women, the connections with their community and their love of good food and wine make for a great read. I was transported to Italy as I read it and I have recommended it to many female friends. It's a very special book. Review: Always charming Italy - but needed more - Having read several of these tales by Marlena De Blasi, I was expecting a similar format - wonderful stories of unique and enigmatic characters from the countryside along with the camaraderie around tables of tantalizing meals. And certainly, the detailed recipes. I found the background stories on each character too lengthy - each was more of a short story in itself. Took away from the development of the central story for too long. So the continuity was lost. And some of the dishes chosen to explain and prepare were not that appealing to me. Unlike other books where I was anxious to prepare the menus, no matter how complicated. Surely there are more delectable Italian creations with wider appeal that have not been chosen in previous novels. In spite of these minor objections, I found the book enjoyable and revealed more of a special part of Itlay. It was indeed an Italian feast. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #204,458 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #287 in Italian Travel Guides #456 in Culinary Biographies & Memoirs #1,453 in Traveler & Explorer Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 495 Reviews | ## Images ![The Umbrian Thursday Night Supper Club - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91XD2+Wn3wL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buon Appetito! *by W***L on August 21, 2016* I just loved this book.
