Harrison journeyed to Italy in search of a national ethos as well as her own past. She discovered a great deal about both. `` Italian Days does what all really fine travel writing does: it inspires the reader to look at life's possibilities anew,'' lauded PW . ``The writing is superb: eloquent, witty, colorful and lyrical.''
