À propos de cet audio

 The fateful first meeting of Enza and Ciro takes place amid the haunting majesty of the Italian Alps at the turn of the last century. Still teenagers, they are separated when Ciro is banished from his village and sent to hide in New York's Little Italy, apprenticed to a shoemaker, leaving a bereft Enza behind. But when her own family faces disaster, she, too, is forced to emigrate to America. Though destiny will reunite the star-crossed lovers, it will, just as abruptly, separate them once again—sending Ciro off to serve in World War I, while Enza is drawn into the glamorous world of the opera . . . and into the life of the international singing sensation Enrico Caruso. Still, Enza and Ciro have been touched by fate—and, ultimately, the power of their love will change their lives forever.

I like to check reviews before purchasing a book. The reviews I read about The Shoemaker’s Wife were mixed and affected my enjoyment of the story. I am happy that as I reached the last chapter, I was relieved that my fears were unfounded. I Loved this book.
Reviews are subjective and I some of the negative comments about the book confuse me.
It was well written and the story is lovely.
Sure, it s a bit wordy and could perhaps have been condensed, but the depth of descriptive language gives the story a richness.

A captivating listen
