A
Woman, A Dog and Umbria (Free Access to this Article)
The new book Marcus of Umbria:
What an Italian Dog Taught an American Girl About Love
traces Justine van der Leun's funny and illuminating time spent in
Collelungo, a 200-person farming village in central Umbria. Justine, a
Brooklyn resident, met Emanuele, a local gardener, on vacation and
impulsively moved in with him. When she leaves a year later, the author
has gained a newfound knowledge of language and family, a deep-rooted
passion for animals and nature and a small, spotted dog that she'd
adopted named Marcus.
