An enthralling tale of modern-day love steeped in the romantic traditions of eras past, this
is a memoir that will warm your heart.
Eat, Pray, Love meets The Rosie Project in this fresh, heartwarming memoir by a man
who travels to Verona and volunteers to answer letters addressed to Shakespeare's Juliet,
all in an attempt to heal his own heartbreak.
When Glenn Dixon is spurned by love, he packs his bags for Verona, Italy. Once there,
he volunteers to answer the thousands of letters that arrive addressed to Juliet-letters
sent from lovelorn people all over the world to Juliet's hometown; people who long to
understand the mysteries of the human heart.
Glenn's journey takes him deep into the charming community of Verona, where he
becomes involved in unraveling the truth behind Romeo and Juliet. Did these star-crossed
lovers actually exist? Why have they remained at the forefront of hearts and minds for
centuries? And what can they teach us about love?
When Glenn returns home to Canada and resumes his duties as an English teacher,
he undertakes a lively reading of Romeo and Juliet with his students, engaging them
in passions past and present. But in an intriguing reversal of fate and fortune, his
students-along with an old friend-instruct the teacher on the true meaning of love,
loss, and moving on.
