"Eat, Pray, Love meets The Rosie Project in this fresh, heartwarming memoir by a man who travels to Verona and volunteers to answer letters addressed to Shakespeare's Juliet, all in an attempt to heal his own heartbreak. When Glenn Dixon is spurned by love, he packs his bags for Verona, Italy. Once there, he volunteers to answer the thousands of letters that arrive addressed to Juliet--letters sent from lovelorn people all over the world to Juliet's hometown; people who long to understand the mysteries of the human heart. Glenn's journey takes him deep into the charming community of Verona, where he becomes involved in unraveling the truth behind Romeo and Juliet. Did these star-crossed lovers actually exist? Why have they remained at the forefront of hearts and minds for centuries? And what can they teach us about love? When Glenn returns home to Canada and resumes his duties as an English teacher, he undertakes a lively reading of Romeo and Juliet with his students, engaging them in passions past and present. But in an intriguing reversal of fate and fortune, his students--along with an old friend--instruct the teacher on the true meaning of love, loss, and moving on. An enthralling tale of modern-day love steeped in the romantic traditions of eras past, this is a memoir that will warm your heart"--… (más)

Entertaining and enjoyable. I enjoyed finding out about the historical background (theory?) of the Romeo & Juliet story. I did find myself asking Glenn what the heck he was doing, wasting his life pining after Claire. Talk about an undeserving object of affection. As a romance story, it sucked. As a travel memoir, it was a pretty fun read. ( )

This true story is about one man's search for love and happiness. Glenn doesn't have the best luck in relationships and spent many years with an unrequited love. Seriously, your heart breaks for him when you read his story.

He is a man who believes in love. He teaches Romeo and Juliet to highschool kids for goodness sakes.
As an intellectual, he has also researched different theories on love.

He goes to Verona to answer letters people have written to Romeo's Juliet. He hopes that he will find his own answers there. Glenn really wants to believe he will find real love.

Very likable person, very sweet story.

Don't look at the pictures in the book too early or you'll spoil the ending for yourself. ( )

A high school English teacher, Glenn Dixon spends his summer volunteering in Verona, Italy as one of Juliet's secretaries, responding to the letters from individuals all over the globe who send letters to the iconic lover. In trying to gain a better understanding of the context of the play he teaches his students every year and also searching for wisdom for his own love life, Dixon's memoir details both the universal experience of love and his own journey that took a dramatic turn shortly after that trip to Italy. A fun read, particularly for Shakespeare nerds and those who enjoy a good relationship memoir. ( )
