"This story surprised me. And I love when that happens..." Review on Amazon.
Martin is a 50-something Yorkshireman with a penchant for swearing and making model aircraft in his shed. He also likes football and many years ago when a small, longhaired Argentinian started to play for Napoli FC, Martin became aware of this corner of Italy famous for Pompeii, pizza and the mafia. While a later incident meant that Maradona fell seriously out of Martin's favour, his love for Naples and the Amalfi Coast grew and grew. But with a family to provide for and his redundancy to deal with, Martin never made the journey to this part of the world he loves so much. Until now…
Readers have described See the Amalfi Coast as "funny, evocative and moving", "witty, clever and so honest" and "a wonderful read". Enjoy finding out why Martin and his loyal, loving wife have finally made the journey to see the Amalfi Coast and how a number of twists and turns give new meaning to their "holiday of a lifetime".
"The best thing about this short story is that it's about people we all know. You can relate to the characters instantly which means you care about them. It's also a story about how travel can have significant meaning for people, regardless of whether the trip is short or long. Places are more than a dot on a map - and the Amalfi Coast is a perfect example. I look forward to more stories and I heartily recommend reading this one!"
