In this meditative and flavorful essay, Alexandra Johnson visits Viggiano and the large, extended Italian family that would have been her own - had she married the youngest son, Giorgio, her old boyfriend. Now married to another man, she returns to the house to help Giorgio improve his English as he thinks about leaving southern Italy and its struggling economy behind. Immersed in the Italian traditions of food and family, Johnson comes to appreciate her would-be mother-in-law, Anna, all while exploring and absorbing the age-old virtues and rituals of a difficult land.

Twice Eggs (Audible Audio Edition) Alexandra Johnson Carol Monda Audible Studios Books
First, let me disclose that I know and admire the author, Alex Johnson, and have learned a great deal from her. But if I didn't really admire "Twice Eggs," I'd opt for silence. Instead, I'm writing this review because I really savored this excerpt from her memoir-in-progress. Set in a blazing, parched, impoverished region of Italy, the essay is a journey into personal and ancient history. The writing is luminous and at times, sharply funny, and Johnson's knowledge -- of ancient history, geology, and Italian cooking -- infuse every page. Though I'm not generally a fan of travel memoirs (and hate to classify "Twice Eggs" into any genre), I was enthralled and look forward to reading the rest of the book.Product details

Twice Eggs (Audible Audio Edition) Alexandra Johnson Carol Monda Audible Studios Books Reviews
Twice Eggs is an evocative story about an American woman connecting with ancient-ness, timelessness, and with traditional time-bound people in a small, decidedly non-glamorous Italian village. Relationships intersect, cultures are shared, some fondness, perhaps love--- is shared. Twice Eggs is finely observed and beautifully written. It avoids stereotypes and inclinations to wrap up stories in happy endings.
Sorry but I just could not get interested in this story and I really tried.
Sorry, but I just did not enjoy reading this book. Took me longer to get back to it and I actually started to read a different story which is not the norm for me.
So alive. Alex has an amazing ability to bring Italy and the nuances of Italian life right to our palates. Twice Eggs left me wanting to read more.
Lyrical and pensive, this book takes the reader deep into an Italy most of us have not seen. The culture, traditions and people come alive through Ms. Johnson's relationships and her words, and we can feel and taste the place and the food. I look forward to reading more of her book.
I was so happy to see that this wonderful story was a Single. It is a jewel in the crown of short stories
I really enjoyed reading Alexandra's book, short, but very interesting. a very good writer. I could see every thing, nd hear every thing with her.
It's a charming book, real characters, wonderful (Italian) food, and a great sense of place--you'll think you are there. The writing is excellent. I've told friends about this book.
