520    Tired of laboring in city cubicles, the author sublets her
       studio apartment, leaves her magazine job, and moves to 
       Collelungo, Italy, population: 200. There, in the ancient 
       city center of a historic Umbrian village, she sets up 
       house with the handsome local gardener she met on vacation
       only weeks earlier. This impulsive decision launches an 
       eye-opening series of misadventures when village life and 
       romance turn out to be radically different from what she 
       had imagined. Love lost with the gardener is found instead
       with Marcus, an abandoned English pointer that she 
       rescues. With Marcus by her side, Justine discovers the 
       bliss and hardship of living in the countryside: herding 
       sheep, tending to wild horses, picking olives with her 
       adopted Italian family, and trying her best to learn the 
       regional dialect... The result is a rich, comic, and 
       unconventional portrait about learning to live and love in
       the most unexpected ways.
