| 1 | One Italian Summer | 2017 | Pip Williams | Buy |
Pip Williams published her first book, One Italian Summer, in 2017, before she became widely known for her historical fiction. The book is a non-fiction account of a year spent in a small Italian village with her family.
Williams and her husband decided to leave their life in Australia behind for a while and settle into the rhythms of rural Italy. One Italian Summer describes the food they cooked, the neighbors they got to know, and the slower pace of life they found there. It was her first published work and gave early hints of the warm, observant writing style she would bring to her later novels.
