The best book I've read in years!! I read approximately 50 books a year...all different genres. The characters and story line are so captivating and if you've been to Firenze it's a complete bonus. Sarah Winham writes in an unbelievably poetic and prolific style. I laughed, I cried and became completely engrossed. I re-read so many lines and paragraphs. To be honest I don't normally re-read books. I pass them on, but I actually want to read this book again. Can't praise it enough.
