Like threads of delicate gold, the lives of two young Italian lovers, Enza Ravanelli, a practical girl born into poverty, and Ciro Amadei, a dreamer raised in a convent orphanage, are woven together in this lush, epic novel set against the landscape of world events in the first half of the twentieth century. Like the times they were born into, Enza and Ciro's story is filled with surprising twists and turns. Together, they embrace the promise of a new and better life as they attempt to survive by the labour of their own hands.

"A charming, story"
No, I would rather read it because I found the narrator annoying.
I loved the characters and the descriptions of the settings - I was transported into the Italian Alps and I loved it!
Her Italian accents were annoying. She mispronounced quite a few words which I thought was really irritating.
I cried in quite a few of the sad bits - I had fallen in love with the main character, Ciro.
I would highly recommend the book as it is a really lovely story.
