The poor guy who met and married the author is little more than a footnote for this 300+ page whinefest. Leave a comment letting me know if you’ve read this one or have any questions about it, and keep an eye out for my next review! My heart is full, and aching with how real the fragility of life is, and how we should cherish every moment with our spouses and loved ones. Sloane looked back to grab my hand just before we entered the outdoor terrace, where I could see at least ten to twelve Italians gathered in a smattering of duos and trios.
In the book the focus was on the developing relationship with Tembi and her Sicilian mother in law who said very little, yet was so wise.Speaking to TODAY, Attica Locke said she doesn't have much in common with her TV equivalent, Zora, played by Danielle Deadwyler. I wanted to journey to beyond where my eye can see and greet the self who carried me forward to get there.
Okay, there are some “Godfather” jokes, but in the end, a Sicilian neighbor, who does not understand a syllable of English, tells her family that their daughter, Tembi, “is one of us. Eventually, they reconciled with Saro's family just as he faced a formidable cancer that would consume all their dreams. I bought this book simply because Netflix was filming Tembi Locke's story within and without the building in Florence that houses my home and it seemed like a good idea to understand what was going on.
He was a sexy black-haired, brown-eyed guy with a beautiful olive complexion in a country full of handsome, black-haired, brown-eyed, olive-skinned men. David Bowie was singing “Rebel Rebel” as I had made my way from the bar through the crowd of Florentine bohemians, European PhD students, and recent North African immigrants that had descended on No Entry that night. Yet I wanted it so badly that I had to stop from screaming right there on the sidewalk and waking the residents above. Growing up in Texas, Tembi said people would often change her name to "Tammy," or another Anglicized version.
They build a happy life in Los Angeles, with fulfilling careers, deep friendships and the love of their lives: a baby girl they adopt at birth.With lyrical writing; sensual descriptions of Italian food; and a powerful love story that transcends barriers of language, culture, and more; readers can’t help but feel everything with Tembi as she guides us through her journey.
Great Deal
