Title: That summer in Sicily : a love story
Author: Marlena de Blasi
At the villa "Donnafugata", where long ago is never far away, this tale of love unfolds fragrantly between Sicily's mountains and the sea.
The tragic Tosca Brozzi's life from being sold into slavery to a prince by her father, and to the present time, when she is elderly and still living in the villa, is told by the author with great skill and compassion.
It is also the story of Sicily and its people, its food and customs, all braided into this wonderful book set in this unusual part of the world.
This is a delightful read, dreamy and spicy, just like Sicily.
