Gemma is an overworked-by choice- ER doctor who is raising a teenage daughter alone. When Gemma's Italian mother is notified by the parish priest in her old hometown in Italy that she has inherited a villa, the three leave NYC for an adventure in Tuscany. This story was a pleasure to read, with lush descriptions of Florence, Rome, and of course the fictional hometown- Bella Piacere- and very sweet moments related to the transition from girl to young woman, letting go of guilt and allowing oneself to love again, and finding love at a mature age. The author does all of this while keeping the characters interesting, sometimes humorous, and the story light (not depressing). I really enjoyed it.
