Charming book — 1 year ago
This is the first book I have read by Adriana Trigiani, and I really enjoyed it. The characters are quirky and loveable, and it’s an easy read.
Ave Maria is the town spinster of Big Stone Gap – a town where if you’re female, over 20 and unmarried, you’re classed as something of an old maid. Life is passing Ave by, and she doesn’t even realise it. She is also coping with the recent death of her mother. However, a letter which her mother wrote to her before she died throws Ave’s life into turmoil, and sets her on an inner journey.
I found myself rooting for Ave, and loving all of the other characters who populate Big Stone Gap. I will definitely be reading the rest of this series.
