I love Elin Hildenbrand’s descriptions in this novel - of the food and landscape especially. She does backstory so well and the flashbacks really transport you to the respective time and place. She also has a great grasp of the current zeitgeist and the pop culture references in the present keep things fresh.
This is a great vacation read and I liked the various struggles each character was doing through, as well as how they wrapped up in the end.
