Breaking the curse

One Italian Summer - Lori Nelson Spielman

One Italian Summer

Bewertet mit 3.5 Sternen

Emilia and Lucy travel with their great-aunt Poppy to Italy to meet an old lover. One she hasn't seen nor spoken to in almost 60 years! But she is convinced he'll be there, just as he promised so long ago... The lovestory of Poppy and Rico truly is very romantic, but also tragic. I enjoyed the flashback chapters recounting their time together very much. Same goes for the wonderful descriptions of Venice, Florence and Ravello!

The twist with the family curse was a nice idea, but laid on a bit too heavily. This was getting on my nerves a bit towards the end. Same goes for one character in particular that I found really horrible!

But all in all I quite enjoyed this book about family, love and finding yourself.
