Elizabeth Adler's novel tells of Lamour Harrington's life as a landscape architect in Chicago. (As a child in Italy, she learned much from Mifune, a Japanese employee and landscape architect of the Pirati mansion on the Amalfi coast.) Lamour's husband dies; she searches her soul to find the answer of how her father died in Italy years ago.
Lamour returns to Italy, and is torn between two mysterious & compelling men. Lamour discovers that the past has a way of returning when you least expect it. She finds Mifune, again, but as an older man. He tells her to be careful as she searches answers to her past.
The House in Amalfi is a great read that will keep you turning pages; a book that will keep you reading to the end quickly. You won't want to put the book down.
