The Miracle of Castel Di Sangro: A Tale of Passion and Folly in the Heart of Italy by Joe McGinniss

4.0

Several times while I was reading this book I checked the cover to make sure I hadn't misread the small print in the corner that said "Travel/Nonfiction." I kept expecting to find that it wasn't there after all and thinking that maybe on closer inspection I would see the words "a novel" on the cover, because the story was at times too intense and surreal to believe. It was also funny, sad, and maddening at times, a great story of a little Italian town and their soccer team. The ending left me feeling a little bummed out, but I still felt it was very much worth the read.
