Resumen del Editor

Sometimes a family's deepest silences hide the most important secrets. For Mina, a London-based travel writer, the enigmatic silence surrounding her aunt Carmela has become a personal obsession. Carmela disappeared from her Italian hometown long ago and is mentioned only in fragments and whispers. Mina has resisted prying, respectful of her family's Sardinian reserve. But now, with her mother battling cancer, it's time to learn the truth.

In 1952, Simius is a busy Sardinian town surrounded by fertile farms and orchards. Carmela Chirigoni, a farmer's daughter and talented seamstress, is engaged to Franco, son of the area's wealthiest family. Everyone agrees it's a good match. But Carmela's growing doubts about Franco's possessiveness are magnified when she meets Captain Joe Kavanagh. Joe, an American officer stationed at a local army base, is charismatic, intelligent, and married. Hired as his interpreter, Carmela resolves to ignore her feelings, knowing that any future together must bring upheaval and heartache to both families.

As Mina follows the threads of Carmela's life to uncover her fate, she will discover a past still deeply alive in the present, revealing a story of hope, sacrifice, and extraordinary love.

Sardinia Sorrow

The tragedy of a love Story with twists and turns to take your breath away! how to react when the Dream is so close and yet so Far Away! A Man's World yet the dreams of a Woman reaching for her own Joy!

Excellent!

I was captivated y the author’s creative talent, her incredible ability to narrate so many characters and the shocking and amazing ending! Gourmet cooks may enjoy this book also!

So good!

Sara Alexander is genius in her ability to create, and then to tell, a story. I love the sound of her voice and the way she captures the spirit of each character through tone, inflection, and accent. Ms. Alexander’s descriptions of food, people, and romantic places far away are captivating. This is a sweet story told in a lovely way.

Wonderful story

Loved the setting and the characters throughout. Can’t wait to go to Italy next year.

Very disappointing

Was looking forward to the authors previous book, which was one of the best books I’ve ever heard, and this one was very boring

Excellent!!!

This book was a wonderful story of a forever love. Wonderful descriptions of Sardinia it’s people and customs. Sara Alexander writes with passion and knowledge and narrates with true understanding. The book had a very unpredictable ending.

Beautiful Escape

This is my second Sara Alexander book. Since travel has been put on hold these last 2 years, it’s a pleasure to travel through Sara’s story and beautiful narration. I loved it

Mystery and independence

I liked the mystery and the look into Sardinia a beautiful island and into the Italian culture in that period

The ending!!

I ordered this book bc I loved Sara Alexander’s book 40 thousand steps to the sea so much. That is my all time favorite Audible book of all time so far. The author narrating the beautiful stories is amazing. Under a sardinian sky was not as good, but still worth a credit to me. The story has a slow uphill start, but I decided to stick with it counting on the author/narrator. So glad I did. I hope Sara Alexander does more books.

A must

Well written and performed beautifully. what I highly recommend as a must read. Thank you, Sara!
