I picked up this book at Barnes and Noble last week, straight off the shelf. With no prior research on the book or its author, I took an uncharacteristic chance in choosing this book for this week's review -- and it turned out to be great. Starting in Cinque Terre, Italy, the story follows Pasquale Tursi as he manages a small inn that he inherited. Every character that emerges subsequently is, in some way, connected to Pasquale. The story hops across continents and spans decades while beautifully detailing the romance, hardships, and happiness that occur in each character's life.
I really enjoyed this book. The writing in this story is like kettle corn; savory, but ever so sweet. The plot is like 60% cacao chocolate; bittersweet, but enjoyable. Reading the book is a slow-melting indulgent treat.
I'd recommend this book to anyone because it is a masterpiece of great story-telling. The way the characters' stories intertwine is magical and I award it five out of five stars.
