Venice, my love, I was naive when you first held me in your arms. I was born from you, and you watched me grow, you fed me, you kept me safe. And then I abandoned you and fell into the arms of the West. One of my greatest regrets is leaving you. I am seventy-two now, and I've come back to you.
A story in multiple parts, this book follows Lorenzo as a seventeen year old growing up in Venice, an eighteen year old making the rough switch to America, and a seventy-two year old returning to Venice, the city who, despite the various romances along the way, will always be his first love.

When he's showing you the island and teaching you Italian, how can you not fall madly in love? With three weeks to spend, will she let herself fall head over heels for a guy she will most likely never see again, or will she stick with her former plan and come to her senses?Complete
