Summary: Evans Is Never Disappointing
Comment: Though not as good as some of Evan's books, this is lighter, but nonetheless thought provoking. Yes, his Italian is not quite accurate, but for an American hero, it is better than some might expect. Yes marriage is forever;however, even God acknowledges adultery as grounds for moving on with your life and Eliana's husband frequently changed lovers.
Her husband's only redemption.....his love for his son finally made him realize his own shortcomings and allowed both his son and Eliana to "move on to happiness".
Some reviewers have called it a "quick read" lacking in the emotional pull of some Evans' novel.......however, I read this book twice and find that if you read it fully....not quickly you will be surprised at the "meat" and emotional pull of this work. The beauty of Florence is touted thoroughly, but I would have liked to have had more incite of the harvest time and the people therewith.
In short and in retrospect...I would choose this book again for a romantic and heartwrenching story of a young, lovely, lonely woman whose husband's straying has left her with a life centered only on her son and her religion....everyone needs validation that they are not only needed but loved for themselves.
I recommend this book to anyone with tender heart....

Summary: i fell in love w/this story
Comment: Wow. I absolutely loved this book! After reading it, I had a new goal in life...to go to Italy & paint. The story was so beautifully told, and told so well! Anyway,an artitst named Eliana is a mother to an asthmatic little boy named Alessio. Her husband(Maurizo) is never home. He's always out on business or w/someone else. One day, an American art buff named Ross Story moves in to the apartments that Eliana's husband owns in the Italian countryside. THe two are immediatly attracted to eachother, but allow some time to let them fall in love. The only complication is that now Maurizio is jealous. Can Eliana find a way for her & her son to escape her terrible marraige? Can they find a happy life with Ross? I admired the incredible depth of the characters in this story. They were wonderful and believeable. I liked how this wasn't an "everything is going according to plan" book, because since it wasn't, it was much more believeable and unpredictable. READ

Summary: dissapointed with review -- haven't read book
Comment: Is there any way to get reviewers to NOT disclose the crucial "what happened" in their reviews? I was going to buy the book from you, called The Last Promise" and was reading reviews of it and unfortunately read the one I have pasted in below, which disclosed the crucial "what happened" and now I lost my desire to purchase and read the book. I DID NOT want to know that the heroine decides she cannot leave her husband for the man she really loves! I would have wanted to read the book NOT KNOWING how it turns out!!
A Love Story I Want Forget, July 29, 2003
Reviewer: wildwoodldy (see more about me) from Village Mills, TX United States
My heart ached for Eliana when the realization came that Eliana could not leave her husband to be with the Ross, the man she truly loved. Mr. Evans used such good description of the emotion each character felt that it touched me deeply. I could feel the pain everyone was experiencing. The description of Italy was such that I felt as if I was actually there even though I have never been to Italy.
