An historical epic of love and family, war and loss, risk and destiny inspired by the author's own family. I know some people shy away from historical fiction, but this is such a great love story between Enza and Ciro. Two young Italians that grow up on the same moutain in the Alps and immigrate to America under entirely different circumstances and at slightly different times. The setting is late 19th Italian century and early American 20th century. You will fall in love with the characters and the stories that finally bring the two together. Trigiani's best work yet!
