Author Alexander McCall Smith’s signature writing style is much like the passeggiata, the Italian custom of the evening stroll. MY ITALIAN BULLDOZER is a standalone novel and, as the story S-L-O-W-L-Y meanders, McCall Smith inserts his gentle observations on human behavior, culture, and social issues. It’s definitely not action-packed, but the charming descriptions of the hilltop town of Montalcino may inspire readers to travel to Italy. This short book’s worth considering when you’re between heavier tomes. MY ITALIAN BULLDOZER is best enjoyed on a lazy afternoon, preferably with a glass of Brunello or Rosso wine.
