Valentine Roncalli is in the business of making shoes. Custom-made shoes, made especially for brides, seem like a product that is out of step in this day and age. Still, Valentine's family has been making shoes for nearly a century and now that Valentine's grandmother has remarried and is living in Italy, the responsibility for keeping the business alive has fallen to Valentine. Gram has also added another burden to Valentine's shoulders, by making her brother, Alfred, CFO of the company. The two have never gotten along and Valentine resents his involvement. Then, there is the matter of love - Valentine thinks Gianluca may be the love of her life but she rejected him when he came to New York to see her.
Adrianna Trigiani is one of my very favorite authors. I love her characters and the dialogue is absolutely amazing. Valentine is a neat lady with a passion for creating shoes but she has much to learn about love. This sequel was as wonderful as the first installment. It's time for me to start reading Trigiani's Big Stone Gap series and keep waiting for her next book to come out!
Rating - A+
