The Florentine Bridge

De: Vanessa Carnevale

Narrado por: Angele Masters

Young Australian artist Mia Moretti has been cancer free for nine months. But her battle with the illness has taken its toll, leaving her depressed and tormented by overwhelming fears. What's more, she can't seem to paint anymore. Mia needs a fresh start so when a surprise opportunity to travel to Tuscany presents itself, she takes it. With any luck, this trip will help her find whatever it is she needs to open her heart and start painting again.

What she doesn't count on is meeting Luca, a handsome Italian mechanic. With his smile, his warmth and his inspirational outlook on all the good things life has to offer, he sweeps her off her feet. As Mia slowly lets down her walls and allows Luca in, her passion for life is reignited and her new perspective begins to inspire her art. But just when she's ready to let go of her past, will a tragedy threaten her new life with Luca?

Full of heart and hope, a love story about la dolce vita in Tuscany.

Great story

I loved this book! Makes you want to go to Italy! Enjoyable book to listen too.

Love the story

Loved this beautiful story, though it was a tearjerker! The imagery was perfection, felt as though i was there

Phenomenal

You must listen to this book! Not only does it take you on a wonderful adventure through Italy but the life growth lessons on fear and love and faith and living in the present moment are sublimely woven through this beautiful story. I loved it! 🙏❤️👏🏻

Touching

I’ve listened to many books and this one brought me to tears. The story so touched my heart and invoked feelings that I had buried for many years.

Almost Missed Out

I almost missed out on a great read. It started slow but worth continuing .

Travel to Tuscany.

This book was a lovely journey to Florence. An easy read where you day dream about romance, Food and the beauty of italy. Although predictable I always want to be transported to another place and go on an adventure with the characters. So it was S really nice journey to Italy. And now I'm going there! Buon aperitivo.

Podcast listener turned reader

Vanessa Carnevale'a podcast drew me into her realm and I constantly pestered her about when I could read her book. Finally it was released in the US via audible and I tried a free trial just for it.

The Florentine Bridge is a beautiful story of love and travel, finding everything after losing yourself. I lived in Florence during my time studying abroad and I fell in love with the city. ANYONE who had been to Florence will love this novel. It reminded me of why I loved Italy in a time I truly needed to remember, and brought back the memories in a way that my senses thrived from.

Vanessa's debut novel has a great deal of detail and is excellently written, making me want to continue my stories as well. The words were perfect.

The only thing that was odd to me was actually listening to it. I'm not a huge fan of audio books so the woman speaking, changing from male Italian voices to female Australian voices were a bit weird. Overall I loved the book and gave it top stars because the storyline was wonderful, the characters made me love them, and I wanted to read more.

Thank you Vanessa for reminding me of my love for Florence.

Pathetic character

The main girl in this story is absolutely pathetic and tiresome. She is a Debbie downer who can’t see the good or have hope in anything. Not entertaining to hear.

Repetitive, Unrealistic, and Morbid

If you like being depressed throughout the reading of a book, this book is for you. It is repetitive and depressing. Unrealistic…

Struggle

The performance was very hard to listen to. Her trying to sound like Italian personas was to say the least grinding. I was hoping the story would get me through, but to be honest that was very unsatisfying as well.
