Synopsis
Seismic changes are about to take place in Ave Maria's life. Her daughter, Etta, barely eighteen, is married and living in Italy; the health of her husband, the gorgeous and ever-dependable Jack Mac, is failing and she has scarcely noticed; friendships she has enjoyed forever are under threat. And then to town comes a mysterious stranger, revealing a long-buried secret. Her world shaken, Ave Maria must face up to the past in order to build a new life for herself and for Jack.
Review
Home to Big Stone Gap, is the second in the Big Stone Gap saga, and is a wonderful book on an American family's chance, after the marriage of their daughter to an Italian in Italy, to rebuild their own lives. Etta their daughter is their only child, having lost their son when he was just four years old, before this story starts.
Adriana Trigiani has written this brilliant book of tensions within a family, of suprises and a trip abroad, that will open up and rebuild a couples life together. Her discriptions of the countryside and scenery are amazing. It is great to be able to read about places that many can not and may never be able to visit, but also to laugh at the fact that this author has one of her characters reading Ian Rankin's books on they're flight to Scotland , and the fabulous discriptions of the Aberdeen the Granite City.
