Beautiful Ruins by Jess WalterMy rating: 3 of 5 stars

"You mean, in your opinion."
"I mean in English."
......................................
The Italian setting is immensely appealing as the story opens with an ailing movie actress and the people of a tiny village on the Ligurian coast. We travel to assorted locales that set the tone of the story of love, life, and relationships. This is essentially a romantic story of how messy and how wonderful life can be.
The cast of characters is so diverse and entertaining that I feel as though I know each one, with their quirks and unique positions in this well-crafted story.
Their intricate stories are woven together in a sometimes over-drawn narrative that remains compelling. This is a story of living, of life. The conclusion, the ending is so beautifully drawn that it alone is worth the read.

Your teaser reminds me of a book I just quit reading because it didn't work in English ... or any other language! But I think I'd enjoy Beautiful Ruins.
My teaser is from THE LAW OF SIMILARS.
