Many linguistic and romantic antics ensued, and a happy ending unlike any she could have foreseen. This is a story for everyone-the armchair traveler and the real one, the lover of love stories and the connoisseur of culture clash-but above all, it's a story for anyone who is always homesick for somewhere else.
