Forever Florence! A Memoir

At the suggestion of the Authors Guild, I updated my memoir of Florence and re-titled the book Forever Florence!.

Susan Kelley writes a hilarious memoir of one couple’s sixteen-year romp living, working, and playing in Florence, the artistic treasure house of the Western world.

A life in Florence

In delightful and always-surprising chapters, she relates the adventures of a writer and artist finding their true path in life while encountering an unforgettable cast of characters. The city’s endearing residents, a consecrated nun, Italian royalty, and a legendary rock star all become part of the story.

Susan and her husband have lived what many people would consider a dream. What makes this journey different is that they embarked on it together, discovering the beauty, comedy, and occasional chaos of life abroad as a couple.

A memoir of people and place

Forever Florence! is a love letter to a city, but it is also a story about following a creative life wherever it leads. It celebrates the unexpected friendships and singular moments that make a faraway place feel like home.
