For the sake my sanity, I had to move this to DNF. It was the worst book I've read in ages! The main character had no mind of her own and no gratitude for her very comfortable life. I could not stomach it for one more page.
I really enjoyed this book. With the mother and daughter relationship, which was special. The visit to Italy makes me want to go there. Then include a bit of time travel. Great summertime read.
