The Postcard from Italy by Angela Petch

4.0

---

I will start off by saying that I was drawn to this book by the beautiful cover, once I saw the cover I just had to read this book. The author is a completely new author to me and as usual I always feel slightly nervous reading a new author for me. What if I don’t like the book and feel like giving up half way through ? Well I needn’t have worried as I absolutely loved this book. The story is told in dual timeline 1940’s just after WW2 and present day. This book utterly captivated me, especially those based in the past and reading about the lives of Roberto and Antonella . This author has a wonderful way of describing her characters and the surroundings in each chapter. At times I honestly felt I was there in Italy and eating all that glorious food that was described so well. This is a wonderful story that had me totally captivated from the very beginning.
