A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

The Angelini Shoe Company in Greenwich Village has depended on the Vechiarelli & Son tannery in Tuscany for a hundred years. This ancient partnership provides a twist of fate for Valentine Roncalli, the school teacher-turned-shoemaker, to fall in love with Gianluca Vechiarelli, a tanner with a complex past… and a secret.
After the wedding celebrations are over, Valentine wakes up to the reality of juggling the demands of a new business and the needs of her new family. Confronted with painful choices, Valentine remembers the wise words that inspired her in the early days of her beloved Angelini Shoe Company: 'A person who can build a pair of shoes can do just about anything.' Now the proud, passionate Valentine is going to fight for everything she wants and savour all she deserves - the bitter and the sweet of life itself.
Adriana Trigiani takes us from the cobblestone streets of Greenwich Village to lush New Orleans, to Italy and back again, from the tricky dynamics between Old World craftsmanship and New World ambition, all amid a passionate love affair that fuels one woman's determination to have it all.
Praise for Adriana Trigiani:
'Charming, charismatic and addictive, this tale of love, life and shoes is an absolute treat' Company
'A gorgeous piece of escapism...with plenty of the warm, earthy humour that is this author's calling-card' The Times
