Read this book after watching the Netflix limited series. The author did a great job as describing the scene, it was like I was there!! The love story made me appreciate my husband. Also, I loved how it evoked many emotions, from sadness to happiness. I was rooting for them even though I knew how it ended.

4.5 Stars - What a surprise! I wasn't expecting to enjoy this one as much as I did, but Locke's writing is stunning. Full of delicious descriptions of food, and a story of love, loss and convalescence. Putting this book down left me feeling the urge to cook up something delicious (shout out to the fantastic recipes in the back!), plan a trip to Italy and hug my husband. A moving memoir that will pull at your heart strings and transport you to Sicily.
The themes of love and forgiveness are sprinkled throughout this memoir. She jumps back and forth in time which is effective.
I loved this book. It is about an African American woman from Texas who falls in love with a Sicilian. It is about grief, joy, parenthood, bringing two cultures together, and good food. The end brought tears to my eyes, but in a good way.
