I love books about the Italian countryside and this one did not dissappoint. Romantic and charming, it is about a widower who returns to his childhood town in Abruzzo to rebuild his life and finds love...

I loved this book. I did not read the back cover so I did not know where the book was going and I'm glad I didn't. I just let the story go where it may and was happily surprised. It's a feel good book and I really felt like I was in Italy with the character.
Very enjoyable...love the intermittent bits of the Italian Language, love the cycling themes, love the full embrace of how families in Italy work...
I didn't like this author's style, but my husband thought it was OK.
