From Italy With Amore
Cut along the dashed lines and pass the cards around the table.
As you settled into this book, what smell or taste did it make you crave? Tell us about a food that instantly makes you feel at home.
If you could be dropped into one cozy scene from the book for an afternoon, where would you sit and what would you be sipping?
The book treats food as a language of love. When has someone shown they cared about you through a meal, and how did it feel?
Italy here feels like a warm embrace as much as a place. What corner of the world (real or imagined) gives you that same held, unhurried feeling?
So much of the warmth comes from slowing down and savoring small moments. Which little moment in the story made you exhale and want to linger?
The story leans into welcome and belonging. When did a stranger or new place make you feel unexpectedly at home, the way the characters do here?
Without giving anything away, was there a moment that quietly moved you or brought a lump to your throat? What do you think tugged at you there?
By the last pages, the book leaves you with a certain feeling more than a lesson. What warmth or longing did you carry with you after closing it, and where do you think it came from?
