It is about a couple, Enza and Ciro, originally from the alps of Italy. It is set before World War 1 when the two meet in their home town before they both end up in the United States for different reasons. The story follows their lives and their love for each other, their friends, families and their Italy.
This book is beautifully written with so much description, you feel as though you are living with the characters. There are twists, highs and extreme lows. This story reminds you to never take life for granted and to always be grateful for what you have. It reminds you to work hard and always set goals for yourself, finding those things that you are good at and working on them. It reminds you to appreciate your friends and family and to love each day.
This book has really hit a point with me to enjoy each moment with my husband, to appreciate the small things and to kiss all the time.
I warn you this book is not for the soft-hearted! But nevertheless it is a fabulous read.
