About the Author

Veronica Di Grigoli is an English woman handling parenthood, the Mafia and a Sicilian Mother-in-law, all at once. She has worked in Istanbul, London, Milan, New York, Zurich, Frankfurt and Palermo. She studied Classics at university and fell in love with Italy and all things Italian... including one man in particular! She now lives near Palermo with her husband and son, cooking dangerously large portions of pasta, driving her car among maniacs, and trying to avoid sunburn when it is forty degrees centigrade. She loves the weird and wacky side of living abroad and learning the hidden secrets of foreign cultures. Visit her blog: www.SicilianGodmother.com
