Ave Maria and Jack Mack have had their tough times. They lost their little boy, Joe, and Jack has learned that the mine is closing. He has been a miner his whole life. It's Ave Marie's way to try to fix everything but she soon finds that Jack Mack is insulted that she doesn't trust him to take care of her and their daughter, Etta. Ave Maria can't help but be concerned when she sees him talking to a woman that she doesn't know. After all, woman can sense these things, can't they? Ave Maria is determined to have a better marriage than the one her mother did and after the death of her son, she can't endure the loss of her marriage, too.
As usual, I loved every bit of this novel by Adriana Trigiani. Ave Maria and Jack Mack are great characters and it was heartbreaking to watch their marriage struggle. When Ave Maria meets another man in Italy, I kept hoping that she would make the choice that would keep her marriage together. As usual, all of the supporting characters in the book are rich and alive. I can't wait to read the last part of this series - and yet, I don't want it to be over!
Rating - A
