'The Little Lark Still Sings' - the Perfect Book to Emerge From Lockdown

NEW YORK, April 27, 2021 (Newswire.com) - For anyone longing to travel again, Victoria Smith's new memoir, The Little Lark Still Sings: A True Story of Love, Change and an Old Tuscan Farmhouse, newly released by Morgan James, is a captivating journey to Tuscany, its hidden treasures and unforgettable foods. Amidst the wonders, Victoria also discovers how true love can go awry, yet be transformed into something even deeper.

In The Little Lark Still Sings, Victoria and Larry, recently retired, married and very much in love, follow their dream to move to Italy and renovate a crumbling stone farmhouse into their full-time home. They soon learn the truth about daily life in a foreign culture and the unexpected, often confounding, challenges. Their romantic adventure and new Italian life turn into a test of character that almost undoes them, then becomes better than their highest hopes — because of the struggles, not in spite of them.

Victoria, a former senior executive at a major Chicago advertising agency and one of the first women in marketing at Procter & Gamble, becomes uncharacteristically intimidated facing the hurdles in their new life. Larry, a consultant for decades, is determined to study and write, not to be consumed with handling the problems of their move and Victoria's growing insecurity. With courage and vulnerability, Victoria tells their story honestly, hoping it might encourage others in their own struggles and inspire them to follow their own dreams.

The Little Lark Still Sings showcases Victoria's brilliant gift of detail as she brings characters, cathedrals and countryside to life, and draws readers into Cortona, a community intact for thousands of years. She weaves a beautiful tapestry of their marriage, the riches of Tuscany, and the welcoming Cortonesi. With a new resident's curiosity and sense of awe, Victoria helps us pause to marvel at Italy's beauty, art, history, and majesty, and to discover valuable life lessons in this enchanting Italian adventure.
