"Umbria Outside My Window" - In a Moment, Italy Beckoned a Lifelong Stay

APTOS, Calif. - Aug. 14, 2014 - PRLog -- Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency is pleased to announce the release of its newest title, Umbria Outside My Window, by author Nina Hansen Machotka.

About the Book

One day, Nina Hansen Machotka and her husband chanced upon a ruined stone farmhouse in Umbria, in an isolated valley where time seemed to stand still. The crumbling walls and battered staircases whispered to them, and they answered the call.

The stories in Umbria Outside My Window recount their adventures of restoring the farmhouse and what it took to realize their dream of moving from California to Italy, but they portray so much more. She says, “Rebuilding the farmhouse is only a part of the bigger picture. The real stories and photos are about what I’ve seen and experienced outside my window and beyond – the land, the magnificent seasons, the history, culture and art, the festivals and traditions, the food and wine – and above all, the people.”

Her impressions of this fascinating culture inspired these intimate stories that reveal surprising, funny, and profound experiences of daily living in this tiny corner of Italy. Above all, Umbria Outside My Window is about the small moments in life that can change you forever.
