Yes, this book was overly descriptive, but it does not take away from the heart wrenching stories of two families from the same area in the Italian Alps. It is a wonderful love story of Ciro and Enza who emigrated to America at different times, but fate determined they meet again. We follow their trials and tribulations, their joy and sadness as they set up a life in a new country. I fell in love with all the characters and and didn't want this book to end.
SPOILER ALERT!
I shed tears of sorrow that Ciro dies at such a young age, but was so happy he was able to visit his Italian mountain, see his beloved brother again and reunite with his mother after she left her two boys at a convent when they were very young and never came back for them. I was overjoyed that Enza was making plans to see her beloved family again.
