This was another really nice book by [a:Peter Pezzelli|344148|Peter Pezzelli|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg]. There was no extreme drama or violence. It is a book about someone dealing with the realities of normal every day life. This was not a boring book, by any stretch, but it was also not heart attack inducing. I really liked the way Pezzelli didn't dramatize or sugarcoat the situations the characters experienced. The book reminded me that regular life is interesting.

HTML: In this delightful, moving novel, Peter Pezzelli brings to life the earthy sensuality of Italy's Abruzzo regionâ?? the smell of just-baked bread wafting through the village piazza; the shopkeepers sweeping the sidewalks first thing in the morning; groups of cyclists dotting the mountain roadsâ??and spins a story of May-December romance as sharp and delicious as the olives of Villa San Giuseppe... SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO TRAVEL FAR TO FIND YOUR WAY HOME. After the death of his beloved wife, Anna, Peppi's family and friends expect him to bury his grief by tending to his gardens and taking long rides on his bike. Instead, Peppi shocks them all with his decision to leave Rhode Island and return to Villa San Giuseppe, the small Italian village where he spent his childhood, and to il mulino, his family's old mill. But once he's back, he temporarily moves into an apartment over the candy factory run by his childhood best friend, Luca. It is modest, but livable, with a lovely view of Luca's neglected gardens and his equally neglected daughter, the fiery Lucrezia. More a force of nature than a woman, Lucrezia's legendary temper and workaholic schedule hide the very real pain she feels over her husband's death years before. At first, she tolerates Peppi as an eccentric annoyanceâ??her father's strange but handsome American friend who fixes things around the factory and is bringing the gardens back to life. But soon, Lucrezia's interest in Peppi deepens. Like a high wind, the gossip is flying through Villa San Giuseppeâ??Lucrezia's making it to dinner on time. She's eating olives from a man's hand. She's wearing heels. Now, under the Italian sun, a tentative romance begins to bloom between the grieving pair, yielding to a surprisingly strong passion with the power to heal life's wounds and promise second cha No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

He tells no one he's coming, (and doesn't correspond with his US relatives for almost a year) but goes about adjusting slowly to the changes that have come about in the 50 years he was gone. His love of family, his love of biking, and the presence of his best friend from childhood help him transplant his life. A sweet and easy to read fairy tale. ( )
