We are back in the Mountains with Ave and Jack. This story takes place 8 years from the end of the last story (Big Stone Gap).
We learn even more about Ave, Jack, their families and how their marriage works and what is holding them back from happiness. This story really develops Ave into an adult woman who still has not completely 'found herself'. We learn about the dynamic of a family that is wounded and still struggling to be living in the present.
Once again the readers get to go on a journey with Ave to Italy. The way that the author, Adriana Trigiani, describes these different area's really take you deep into the countryside of Italy as well as the Mountains that Ave grew up in.
I love these books. I am a big fan of Adriana Trigiani and really appreciate her story telling abilities!
