Autobiography
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
It is a beautifully written book that just makes you want to stay and read more. You just can't put it down. Based in Tuscany 3 generations of women who live together- strong characters and a wonderful plot.
This is a wonderful read and I immersed myself within the story of the women. Strong forceful and at the same time fragile it follows the generations of the women and I absolutely loved it Quite gripping and highly recommended.
"Throughout this book, the author effectively makes use of her dual-timeline structure to provide a detailed account of the lives of two women in the same family. With evocative descriptions of decadent Italian meals and lush vegetation, Calhoun tells her tale in a compelling manner that will keep readers turning pages and rooting for the women's success as their respective lives are revealed. Her depictions of the Tuscan countryside are particularly vivid and engaging. She also provides accessible details about the political upheaval in Italy in the 1920s, '30s, and '40s. A captivating story about Italian culture, tradition, and long-lasting family connections.
