Angelina has
persevered even after the traumatic murder of her abusive husband with the help
of her talented godmother, Valentina, her late mother's best friend. Resigned
to her fate and all alone, Angelina has resorted to living in her
hometown of Rimini, in coastal Northern Italy, just like Valentina. But when
Angelina gets involved in a series of coincidences with Benjamin, a divorced
American man moving to Rimini, she begins to believe that she might be fated to
a life of happiness and love again. But even so, her overprotective godmother
does not approve. All the while, Benjamin struggles between the two strong
women as he tries to settle down in a new country, far away from home. Still,
the question remains, did Valentina really mean it when she said she would kill
him?
The Infinite
Passion of Life is the first entry in The Rock & the
Rose series, a modern, adventurous historical romance that follows the
individual lives of three main characters and their connections: Angelina,
Benjamin, and Valentina. Set in modern Northern Italy in 2017, the book's
characters draw inspiration from the past, including World War 2 events. Strong
family ties, discussions about God, religion, faith, and Italian customs are at
the heart of the narrative. The book is beautifully written
with headstrong female characters and a heartwarming romance
that elevates it to something unique and gorgeous.
A colorful
escapade into Italian culture, cities, cuisine, language, and people, this
book is a multi-generational story that deals with the relationship between the
older and younger Italian generations. Full of Italian phrases and terms,
you will relive a completely different yet rich vision of life through the
beautiful descriptions in this book and the fresh perspectives of the
characters. The elegant writing and the fascinating details lift the
storytelling craft and offer great entertainment to readers looking for
emotionally rich characters and internal conflict that is deftly
accomplished.
