Esme Oliver hates her job and just broke up with her “perfect on paper” boyfriend on the eve of her 40th birthday. Fed up, she decides to go to Italy. Instead of Eat, Pray, Love, Esme wants to Smoke, Drink, F*k. When she meets a young Italian chef he inspires her to do that and much more.  “If you resolve to give up smoking, drinking and loving, you don’t actually live longer: it just seems longer.”  — Clement Freud
