I’m excited to unveil our thrilling selection for the Matta Spring 2022 Book Club: “Guida Astrologica per Cuori Infranti”
by Silvia Zucca
E se le stelle avessero la chiave per sistemare la tua vita amorosa? Alice, una trentenne alle prese con il cuore spezzato e una carriera bloccata in una piccola rete televisiva milanese, sta per scoprirlo. Tra la notizia bomba del matrimonio del suo ex, un nuovo capo affascinante e misterioso che la tiene sulle spine e un attore di soap opera eccentrico che si rivela anche un guru dell’astrologia, la vita di Alice è tutt’altro che prevedibile. Immergendosi nel mondo dei segni zodiacali e delle indicazioni cosmiche, Alice scopre che a volte l’universo ha un modo tutto suo di portarti esattamente dove devi essere, anche se ci vuole qualche passo falso per arrivarci. Ti fideresti del tuo cuore alle stelle?
What if the stars held the key to fixing your love life? Alice, a thirty-something navigating heartbreak and a stalled career at a small Milanese TV network, is about to find out. Between the bombshell news of her ex’s marriage, a dashing yet enigmatic new boss who keeps her on her toes, and a quirky soap opera actor who doubles as an astrology guru, Alice’s life is anything but predictable. As she dives headfirst into the world of zodiac signs and cosmic guidance, Alice discovers that sometimes, the universe has a way of leading you exactly where you need to be—even if it takes a few wrong turns to get there. Would you trust your heart to the stars?

New Children’s Book “Sofia, la Piccola Matta Teaches Italian” by Melissa Muldoon!
Written for children, but my adult students are also enjoying this book!
Why? Because it includes important lessons on pronunciation and introduces Italian grammar in a simplified way. Interwoven with these educational elements are charming stories about Sofia, an eight-year-old girl, and her Beagle, Moka, who help their new American friend Ty, a six-year-old boy, learn to speak Italian in their picturesque Tuscan town.
I like the idea of a book club in Italian, but when I checked out the Audible selection it was read in English. Is this the only possibility or is there some other Amazon that has books read aloud in Italian?
Ciao Julie! Thanks for dropping me a note! YES! the book is available in Italian in all formats. I accidently posted the links to the English version the books… but have just updated the site with the correct links to get the Italian versions. I’m listening to and reading the book in Italian right now. So, they are definitely available and the reason I decided to start the book club! Hope you join. Let me know if you have any questions! A presto!
