Book Club: Caellum's selection

This book had a great premise but I found it lacking depth as well as lacking in emotive language which challenged my connection. I was more enveloped in the present day storyline than I was in the narrative of Portofino 1953 and didn't gel with the characters like I feel I should have. I found that they lacked a certain substance which irritated me. I feel proud that I managed to finish this book in all honesty.
