An emotional and inspirational memoir story of love, Sicily, and amazing sounding food that makes me want to eat my way through Italy & Sicily.  The 4th star is for all the food descriptions and depiction of the Italian countryside.

this is by far the best memoir I have ever read. I felt loved and comforted by this book while simultaneously grieving alongside tembi and zoela.

to be loved like this- my heart cannot handle it

I have been putting this book on the back end of my reading list, but this is probably one of the best books I have read this year. I was incredibly moved by the beautiful love story. This book is relatable to anyone who has ever felt the need to find themselves or redefine their life. The pages of this book have a little bit of everything: Love, heartbreak, and an amazing adventure that will leave you hungry- for life and for pasta.

I have given this book a solid try since January for a book club I’m in.  Today is Feb 21st. I just don’t like the author’s right style. I just can’t connect to it at all.
