This is a lovely story about the lives and adventures of several generations of the Salerno family. This story shares their life in Sicily, which is built on their strong family and cultural values. I was reminded of many of my own family's Italian-American traditions and how many popular Italian expressions originated. I especially enjoyed when the characters visited several cities in Italy like Rome, Florence and Orvieto. The vivid descriptions of the history, art and food brought back many wonderful memories of my own visits to Italy.I found this book very enjoyable and am looking forward to reading more about what lies ahead for the Salerno family.
Sicily: Where Love Is

It is not often that I read a book and find myself interacting with the characters portrayed. It may be the result of my Italian heritage or perhaps that I am lucky enough to have close-knit family and friends like the ones described. Either way, my travels to Sicily through reading this book were a trip that I would recommend to anyone.

Perhaps because I am of Italian heritage I found myselflost in this book. It's not only a love story,but astory of friendship and the coming together of genuinepeople. However, you don't have to be Italian tothoroughly enjoy this book. The author has a way oftransporting you to Sicilly.
