Searching for Wild Asparagus in Umbria

Deciding to just leave the dynamic bustle of Brooklyn, New York and move to the Italian countryside can't be an easy one, but what an experience it's proven to be for a Trinidadian-born American, his Italian wife and their beloved cat! Within the pages of Searching for Wild Asparagus in Umbria readers will learn about the subjects' encounters with territorial creatures, wild snowstorms, recurring water problems, and other unexpected findings while trying to make their modestly built villetta into a home--and earn a decent living. Further, readers discover, for the first time, the mood of modern Italy as she faces a fabulous new thing called immigration. It's a revealing and politely humorous tale, written from a perspective never before unearthed. A native of Trinidad and Tobago who's lived in Washington D.C. and New York City, author Terry H. Bhola surely never stays in one place. After his academic stint, his career in New York's sizeable publishing industry started at a small, but well-known, scholarly magazine, then moved on to what was a fairish career in advertising at various publications. The true source of whatever traces of libertarianism he may seem to have, however, remains unknown. At the present time, he's somewhere in Italy trying his best to avoid getting caught speeding.
