But I kept reading as I was amused or intrigued by most of the other characters (the busybody villagers, the neighbour, the Italian community, and I was curious how it would all turn out. ( ) What a wonderful enriching novel this is! With a host of wonderful and unique characters and a blend of evocative scenery of old world Italy, this precious treat will be truly enjoyed by anyone who reads it. A deeply emotional and sensitive piece that keeps the reader glued to the pages from start to finish while totally getting wrapped up in the lives of each player. This is about the quest of one young woman who wishes to find her Italian roots and to search for the answers to who her mother was and the truth about her death. Truly this a beautiful book! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Alba always feels like an outsider. She hardly knew her Italian mother and her English father acts as if Valentina never existed. She despises country life almost as much as she despises her stepmother and stepsisters. On board the houseboat named after her dead mother, Alba's life is little more than a selfish search for fun and pleasure. But the discovery of her mother's portrait sends the girl back to Italy to find her family - and the truth about Valentina. Amid the olive groves of the Amalfi coast, its balmy air rich with the scent of figs, a tale of deception and betrayal is waiting to be discovered. It is a tale that takes Alba into the past - but also gives her a new future. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
