My friend who is a librarian suggested that I read this book - thank you Suzanne! I loved it! It starts out in 1962 in a small fishing village in Italy, where the paths and lives of Pasquale and Dee first intertwine. The story moves from past to present,and back again, and forward; adding other characters into the mix, but in reality telling the story of Pasquale and Dee, and how these other characters fit into the weave of their respective lives, together and apart from one another. I highly recommend this book!
