Book Synopsis Notes from an Italian Garden by : Joan Marble
Book excerpt: Thirty years ago, Joan Marble and her husband, Robert Cook, bought an unpromising piece of land near the little hamlet of Canale in an area north of Rome. Here they built a house, and, more importantly, grew a wonderful garden. 'Why do you want to have a garden here?' the local inhabitants asked. 'There's no water, the ground is like cement, it's too cold in winter and too hot in summer...' But Joan and Robert's enthusiasm, their ignorance of the obstacles that faced them, their downright obstinacy and the unexpected friends who helped them - all served to conquer the terrain.
