Description

Actress and TEDx speaker Locke movingly describes the process of grieving and finding solace during three summers in Italy after the death of her husband. As a 20-year-old college exchange student in Florence in 1990, Locke, an aspiring actress, fell in love with chef Saro . . . Saro, who had been battling a rare form of cancer for a decade, died in 2010; Locke spent the next three summers in Sicily with Saro’s mother making family recipes, experiencing the close-knit community, and embracing the wisdom of generations . . . more than a dozen Sicilian recipes. Locke’s raw and heartfelt memoir will uplift readers suffering from the loss of their own loved ones. (May. Taken from Publisher's Weekly website)
