"This novel tells the story of Matelda, the Cabrella family matriarch. She shares with granddaughter, Anina, her own mother's love story. Domenina was fortunate enough to have two loves in her life. One with a Scottish sea captain, John Laurie Mcvicars, the father of Matelda her daughter; and a childhood friend, Silivio. She takes us through her journey from Marseilles to Scotland, where, during wartime, Italians were imprisoned without cause. The story may be a little too long for me, but that may be just me." - C.
