Lost hearts in Italy - Andrea Lee (243 pages)


I picked this book because of its interesting title. I read it since the beginning of the reading chalenge but I did not remember to blog it. Plus, I don't have a good memory so here is the best I could remember from the book.
Nick and Mira, a young and sweet American couple were having a bright future ahead in Rome after a marriage. The happy couple set off for Rome, Nick was going to work for a bank, Mira to freelance as a journalist. But in the time-honored tradition of these things, when Mira flied off to join her husband in Italy and got bumped to first class, she met a charming, vulpine Italian billionaire named Zenin, who was about to lead her to a new life.
Yes, nick is young, charming and energetic. However, Zenin is a wily peasant. The contrast between the two men became fatal, then an affair that no one ever wanted happened. It broke up the marriage.
After all, Nick and Mira still got back together and lived happily ever after.
It is another book that is about affair after "Death of a salesman". However, it is about the woman who cheated on her husband for some kind of illusive love. I like the ending that some people think it is cliche. But sometimes we do need a second chance :)
