As I had fallen in love with Venice on my honeymoon, I couldn't resist this story. Although it is at times difficult to connect with the writer's emotions during this journey, it is nevertheless a charming book and took me back to my deep feelings for Venice. This is a story about an American woman who loves to cook, takes a trip to Venice, and makes a life changing decision at a time when her children are grown and on their own. She struggles along the way with being a strong woman, being an American in a foreign country, and the need for love and self-purpose. The book also contains ten of her recipes at the back, as well as a Reader's Guide.
