Art restorer Emily Price has never encountered anything she
can’t fix—until she meets Ben, an Italian chef, who seems just right. When
Emily follows Ben home to Italy, she learns that his family, however, is
another matter . . .
My Thoughts:
A Portrait of Emily
Price by Katherine Reay was a nice, slow comfort read. Like Reay’s other
books, this one had quite a few literary references along with several interesting
facts about art restoration and rich scenes of Italy. The story follows art
restorer and master of all fixing-upper, Emily Price on a journey of self-realization
as she falls in love and learns how
to deal with her family, both her sister and her in-laws. The characters were
very real and warm- or cold, in the case of the mother-in-law, who was one of
my favorite characters- and all very alive as they interacted with each other.
I was especially interested in the mystery that had torn several family members
away from each other, and the way it unfolded. This story is a must-read for
anyone looking for something a bit slower paced and a bit foodie.
I received a copy of this book for free through the Fiction
Guild. I was not required to post a positive
review and the views and opinions expressed are my own.
