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.

"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
Try The Promise of Stardust by Priscille Sibley, you will love it.
Hugs,
