The third book finds Valentine, newly engaged as it starts just moments after the second book ended. She gets married and then must start living as a married woman when she has spent many many years single. I loved the juggling act of family, career and lifestyle and trying to please each part of her life all at the same time - it is such a theme that many women now have to deal with and the juxtaposition of her Italian husband who has a different view of what a woman's role should be.
A complete twist at the end took this book to a completely different level than the last two and really made me feel the closure of the trilogy. I can't believe Trigiani went there but when I finished reading the book, I was glad she did!

Another great book by Adriana Trigiani; this one being one of my favorite reads. Angelina falls in love with a handsome Italian man - Gianluca - who she marries. She is challenged to juggle being married, having a baby in the first year of marriage, running a company that designs and produces shoes. Trigiana shares much about the energized Italian family's daily lives, the romance she has with Gianluca, and the adventures of making and selling shoes. From New York City, Buenos Aires, Italy and Ohio, the story unfolds with great writing. An enjoyable read.
