Sunday Post: The Witch of Little Italy

The Witch of Little ItalyThe Witch of Little Italy by Suzanne Palmieri
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The story has ended. I am not ready to leave the world of this enchanting book: the abundant garden thick with hardy vines and flowers, the magical family of loving sisters and brothers, the powers of magic and secret spells, the familiar Italian references, bittersweet memories of childhood, of anticipated birth and acceptance of death, and powers of love and continuity. A book of life and wisdom, a book about women.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"Life gets heavy."
"Everyone is entitled to a redo."

Paraphrase or quote?? Love can be warm and gentle and comfortable rather than a Tasmanian Devil of emotions and insecurities.

The personalities in this book are so like those of my mother's Italian family.

Looks like you've been reading some good reads. It's always fun to mix up genres. I'm just trying to catch up on review books, so much to do, so little time. Hope you have a great week and happy reading-- Book Savvy Babe
