Helpful Score: 2
I traveled to Florence, Italy and came home too soon. This novel is painted in hues or red and bronze and vibrant colors of romance and discovering self in the place God dreams of for you.
From the minute I started reading Megs story I fell in love with her. I actually much preferred her story over the sections of Sophias novel. Megs story had a pull on me I couldnt fully explain. Perhaps it was her longing to know where she was meant to be. Perhaps it was her dream to visit a place so magical it almost couldnt be true. Or perhaps it was her longing to connect with someone who wouldnt let her down, even if she fully didnt realize it at first. I think she found a little bit of everything she was looking forand in turn, so did I. Her ending breathes hope and joy and content.
The novel is almost like a dessert disappearing on the tongue, leaving a lingering sweetness too quickly washed away. Meg is definitely a character that will live on in her Italian countryside and in my dreams.
Sophias and Nonias stories certainly contributed to the book, but I didnt become as invested in them, again it was Meg and finally Lorenzo that drew me.
I was blissful at the closing of the bookand a bit sad too. But in the deepest part of my readers heart where beloved characters live, I know she will live on in happiness.
This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the Amazon Vine program and the publishers for my copy to review.
