The Love Of My Life by Louise Douglas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Touching love story that involves you right from the beginning. The story is told by Olivia, the main character, and flips back and forth between now and her past. An unconventional, uncompromising woman, Liv tells her story from her young teens when she grows up surrounded by the Felicone family, a large, noisy Italian family who own a local restaurant. Eventually Liv marries Luca, the love of her life, but is never really accepted into his family.
The other half of the story, intertwined with Liv's growing years, sees her as a young widow grieving for the love of her life. The author tackles well the difficult subjects of loss and grief and how people who have lost someone close.
This book draws you in and makes you feel a part of the lives described so clearly and sympathetically.
Definitely recommended.
