review 1: Pellegrino recreates the romance and glamour of 1950s Rome through the life of Serafina, the eldest of three daughters brought up by their prostitute mother in a tiny flat in the Trastavere district. Determined to carve out her own path through life, Serafina ends up with a job as the personal assistant to the wife of Mario Lanza, a real-life matinee idol of the era, famed for his tenor voice.However her dedication to caring others means she often sacrifices her own happiness, placing her at odds with those that care for her. And if you know anything of Mario Lanza's life, there are many tragedies that she has to weather before finding contentment.
review 2: This was an enjoyable book and I read it in only a few hours. To me it is 3 1/2 stars rounded down to ... more3. It wasn't anywhere near as good as her other books. Usually I am still thinking about the characters afterwards, but this one didn't leave me thinking.I think I like her other books better because they are more based around food and the Italian lifestyle, whereas although this one includes it, it was more about the life of Mario and his wife and how it affected Serafina.Was still very good but I'm not sure I would read it again like I would her other books! less
