Melissa shares her new book
Dreaming Sophia
with readers in a
Youtube Video Chat

I wanted to share with my readers a video I made last month shortly after publishing my new novel about Italy called “Dreaming Sophia”. In this short video, I talk about my book, the experience of writing it, and where my inspiration came from. The video is both in Italian and English. I switch back and forth between the two languages, explaining in English what I say in Italiano!

You can also find the translation and transcripts of this video on the Studentessa Matta website.

Enjoy! Ci sentiamo presto!

The Matta Book Club returns this fall with a new n The Matta Book Club returns this fall with a new novel!! 

More details and the big reveal of the title and the author and details how to sign up for the book club will come next week in a post on the StudentessaMatta.com website... so stay tuned. 

Currently, I'm still in Italy wrapping up a very successful language program in Arezzo! We had a wonderful time!

Now I'm at the beach and currently finishing up the next book club read! LOL

What I can tell you about the novel is that it is a contemporary adventure/murder mystery set in Italy, that takes you from Monte Carlo to London and to France where two thieves board the Orient Express to Venice as they track down Casanova's diary. 

Next week you will have the chance to sign up for group book club meetings of up to 3 or 4 readers, or individual sessions. The novel is available in print and audio and it is my recommendation, with plenty of lead time to read the novel during the summer months prior to the October start date, so that we can really dive into the story, and plot, and work on grammar and idioms.

Stay tuned! State sintonizzati! A presto!
