From Scratch: A Memoir of Love, Sicily, and Finding Home by Tembi Locke

4.0

This is so well written. I felt like I lived in Sicily. The way she describes her feelings from falling in love, to working through the dynamics of different families and cultures, to dealing with grief was so deep you can feel it with her. I loved the sprinkles of Italian/Sicilian dialect and their translations right after. I loved the explanations behind certain actions and how she described her thought process through any given situation. It was overall a great read. I deducted a star because there were parts of it that felt too lengthy and could have been shortened with no impact to the storytelling.
