A book I want to revisit as I go through different phases in life. Each chapter is a different snapshot into a woman’s life and it was remarkably romantic yet melancholic and it made me want to live in their world yet also avoid it.

Very interesting stories, I just found myself wanting more from each short story.

Well-written compilation of tales about, well, "Interesting Women", I guess, although "interesting" seems to imply thirty-something, probably divorced, well-educated, likely mothers living in or visiting Italy. The stories fell into the category of reading about lives I'll never live. The author uses many Italian and French phrases without translation as well as at least a handful of ten dollar words in each story. The Golden Chariot was my favorite story and, perhaps not so coincidentally, didn't have anything to do with Europe and was not focussed on or narrated by just one woman.
