A small Italian village, a quirky cast of characters, and a giant white truffle bring together a hilarious novel that is so much more than it seems.

With humourous animal characters, and humans dealing with loss, longing, and life, the reader is transported to a small Italian village and rooting for this village to return from the brink of death.

This would be an excellent book to read with a book club as there are so many aspects that different people will identify with. I just want to discuss it with someone!

The narration is excellent and helped me get the names and pronunciation straight before I finished the book in print.

Thank you to Hatchette Audio, Grand Central Publishing, and Net Galley for the DLC. All opinions are my own!

It takes place in a very small town in Italy and has a unique cast of characters in the small town. I loved the Italian setting and wanted to find out what happens to the town and the truffle and so I had to keep reading! I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves character-driven novels set in charming small towns. It's a heartwarming and fun read that will leave you feeling like you've visited Italy yourself!

Love, Love, Love! Enchanting story of a crumbling Italian Village that is saved when an enormous “Tartufo” (truffle) is found. Tartufo is such a great story, entertaining characters, and hilarious animals. Highly recommended! This was my first book by Kira Jane Buxton, and it won’t be my last.

Caroline Hewitt did a great job narrating, easy to understand and impeccable Italian.

Thanks Hachette Audio and NetGalley for the early audible copy. All opinions are my own.

This book is fun and different from other books I have read recently, so I enjoyed it! It takes place in a very small town in Italy and has a unique cast of characters in the small town. It has humor, and we get a variety of points of views (including a dogs which is fun!). I loved the Italian setting and I loved the description of the large truffle that was found. I wanted to find out what happens to the town and the truffle and so I had to keep reading! This book is highly recommended for people that like character driven novels in small Italian towns! The narrator on the audiobook made this book fun, I appreciated her Italian pronunciation and accent which made me feel even more like I was in the Italian town!
