A funny thing happened while I was reading this book: I talked about it at dinner time and my family was discussing about the story as somehow it reminded us of people we knew and their stories.
This is the kind of story an Italian love: it's full of drama, twist and turns, passion, love lost and secrets.
It's engrossing and entertaining and you cannot help rooting for the characters hoping they will solve their issues and love will win.
My grandma would have love it as she used to say "I had so much time, I cried all the time" and I loved it
The three strong women at the center of the story are strong willed, passionate and realistic, I loved how they were developed and how you cannot help caring for their life.
On comparing the male characters are well written but a bit less interesting than their female counterpart.
I loved the descriptions of the Cinque Terre, the are where Vernazza is, as it's realistic but also dreamy. I was craving to be there and spend some time at the Lemon Tree Hotel.
This was the first book I read by this author but it won't surely be the last.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Quercus Books and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
