Members Reviews:
Hang on in there
I was dubious about this title after reading some of the reviews however stick with it. The first few chapters you meet a lot of different characters all with their own stories completely unrelated however do not stop reading it does all tie together and you find yourself laughing, cringing and genuinely getting sucked into the story
Very enjoyable
What made the experience of listening to One Night in Italy the most enjoyable?
The narrator has a lovely voice
What did you like best about this story?
Anna and her search for her father
Have you listened to any of Geraldine Sharrocks other performances? How does this one compare?
This was my 1st Geraldine performance
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No probably not, but that's not unusual for me
Far to many main characters.
What disappointed you about One Night in Italy?
To many stories vying for the tops spot, it was like five short stories made into one book, I had no idea who the lead character was as they had no real strengths.
Has One Night in Italy put you off other books in this genre?
No
What didnt you like about Geraldine Sharrocks performance?
Nice to hear a Yorkshire accent
What character would you cut from One Night in Italy?
the long lost dad, either have him in the story line properly or not at all
decent storyline, terrible pronunciation!
bit confusing at the beginning with the parallel storylines but coming together in the end nicely.
However, Italian pronunciation is atrocious! speaking a bit myself, I could barely make out the words! really, narrator and producer could have put a bit more effort into correct intonation and pronunciation of Italian words especially since every chapter title is in Italian!!!
saying 'gkrazi' instead of grazie is quite sad!
Chick Lit
The book is complete chick-lit but not without interest, the characters are quite well drawn. I bought this in the hope it would have an Italian language flavour but sadly almost no Italian words to be found, and I still don't know which one night in Italy the title refers to. The reader had dreadful Italian (and cockney) accents; she mispronounced several words (chez, garrulous, ensconced) and the pauses were in weird places. I think this is an editing problem which should have been ironed out before publication. For a comparison I much preferred Maeve Binchy's Evening Class - similar idea, more Italian!
