Synopsis

“I have finally seen life in colors!” I was once told by a friend who had just seen Italy for the first time. This is the underlying emotion permeating every chapter of this story, that will make thirty- and forty-something, complaining about frenzy lives in big cities, thirst for the simple, intense, colorful life-style of the Italian Riviera. And prove that middle-aged, American women do not hold the monopoly of discovering under a Tuscan sun, or slurping Italian gelato, that love is bigger than we can ever experience.Paolo had been looking for the other half of the apple. When he met Francesca he knew that his search was over. Francesca had dreamed of sailing away from her dull office job. When he offered her to move to London she didn’t think twice.But the cold, materialistic Britain proved different. The night she left him, she came home with reddened eyes: “I fell in love with Matteo” she told him candidly, speaking about his only friend there. What else could he do, but to move back to Italy and put an end to his life?And there he saw it! In the reflections of the sun on the sea, in the colours and the scents of the Italian Riviera, in the futile talks of the people around him, he realized that every experience, however painful, gives meaning to a life. And he chose to love.The Italian version of this novel reached the top spot on Amazon.com best seller list of Italian fiction in 2010 and 2011. A representative of the Italian Church called it genuinely inspirational for the perception of a divine presence in the daily life of the protagonist and the spiritual tension permeating his sensory experience. The time has come for the English-speaking world to discover it!
