When writer Paul Stewart heads to the idyllic Italian town of Montalcino to finish his already late book, it seems like the perfect escape from stressful city life. Upon landing, however, things quickly take a turn for the worse when he discovers his hired car is nowhere to be found. With no record of any reservation and no other cars available it looks like Paul is stuck at the airport. That is, until an enterprising stranger offers him an unexpected alternative. While there may be no cars available there is something else on offer: a bulldozer. With little choice in the matter, Paul accepts and so begins a series of laugh out loud adventures through the Italian countryside, following in the wake of Paul and his Italian Bulldozer. A story of unexpected circumstance and lesson in making the best of what you have, My Italian Bulldozer is a warm holiday read guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

      Narrator Timothy Ackroyd brings a full complement of accents, intonations, and restraint to this comic romp through Tuscany. Ackroyd's delivery of the numerous laugh-out-loud lines enlivens this comic novel based on the wild premise that Paul Stuart, a successful food writer, faced with no other available rental, makes do with a bulldozer. Author Alexander McCall Smith has a grand time with this excursion through the Italian countryside. The Montalcino setting is irresistible, and the banter between Stuart, the eccentric Scot, and the world-weary Italians--whom Ackroyd captures perfectly--turns this rebound romance into an engaging frolic. The audiobook is sprinkled with witty asides on such topics as Brunello and porcini mushrooms, which add color and flavor to the delicious recipe. A.D.M. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
