Publisher Description
The dying wish of 16-year-old Lina's mother was for her daughter to live in Tuscany and get to know her father, whom Lina has never met. "Howard is the best man I've ever known," her mother says, "he'll keep you safe." Why did her mother wait so long to tell her about him? Lina has a happy life in Seattle and doesn't want to leave. Shortly after she arrives at Howard's home, Lina meets Sonya, who gives Lina a diary that belonged to Lina's mother, the one she had kept while she was a photography student in Florence. While Lina is living her life and exploring Tuscany with her handsome neighbour, Ren, she follows in the footsteps of her mother and gets to know her as never before. She also finds out the truth about her father. Mostly she finds out about herself.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
We adored Jenna Evans Welch’s debut for many reasons. At heart, it’s a story of love and self-discovery, which begins when 16-year-old Lina travels to Italy to meet her estranged father. However, it also becomes a clever mystery when touching revelations about Lina’s family are unfurled via the pages of an old journal. These discoveries take her on a trip through Tuscany’s gorgeous landscape, which is vividly captured by Welch, making Love & Gelato a sun-kissed slice of escapism too.
