(  ) Mishale1 | Dec 29, 2018 | If you’re a Candace Bushnell’s Sex and the City fan, you’ve found a new author to adore. Having visited Lake Como, I was pleased to find Anita’s descriptions of the landscape, customs, and dress absolutely accurate, painting vivid memories in my mind. Her use of the five senses is so perfect that you’ll feel as if you were gazing over the turquoise water of Lake Como, the sun on your shoulders, an Italian aperitif in your hand. The story revolves around Hallie Elliot, a late twenty-something interior designer from San Francisco with a discerning eye for design and a penchant for designer labels. (I coveted the spectacular wardrobes of Hallie and her sister Portia.) The secrets the family harbors will keep you reading far into the night. An easy summer read, a fun frolic to lift the spirits. (  ) janmoran | Jan 22, 2016 | Hallie’s mother, Francesca, was a carefree teen studying and playing abroad when she met Pliny and quickly married him. Unwittingly, she had entered the old world of family politics, becoming a part of Italian aristocracy with their own ideas of motherhood and obligation. As a teen, Francesca could not handle the pressure, leaving her two children, Marcua and Portia, behind. Hallie has lived a privileged life in California, thanks to Francesca’s mother, Constance, a socialite and constant mothering presence. Hallie’s life is not as cohesive as many family units with a mother and father and siblings living together, but she’s able to rise above and carve out her own life. Hughes peppers the story with elements of Hallie’s growing-up years to ensure that readers understand her foibles.
