Chickens Eat Pasta

Summary

Chickens Eat Pasta is the tale of a young Englishwoman who starts a new life after watching a video showing a chicken eating spaghetti in a medieval hill village in central Italy. Unlike some recent best sellers, this is simply not an account of a foreigner's move to Italy but a love story written from the unusual perspective of both within and outside of the story.  As events unfold, the strong story portrays a rich Italian life from the inside with a supporting cast of memorable characters. Along the way, the book explores and captures the warmth and color of Italy, as well as, some of the cultural differences between England and Italy and between regional Italian lifestyles and behavior. It is a story with a happy ending. The author and her husband are still married with three children who love the old house on the hill, now much restored, almost as much as she does. Chickens Eat Pasta is Clare's autobiography, and ultimately a love story, with the house itself and with the man that Clare met there and went on to marry. If you yearn for a happy ending, you won't be disappointed. It's a story that proves anything is possible if you only try.
