Information sur l'oeuvreThe Little Italian Hotel par Phaedra Patrick
   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  hmonkeyreads | Jan 25, 2024 |   This was mostly predictable, but I didn’t care. It was exactly the kind of “coming of middle age” adventure I wanted to read as an escape. The characters are interesting and sometimes surprised me, and the setting was gloriously depicted. I felt as if I were in Venice or Florence. And I loved the food descriptions! It’s not a uniformly feel-good story. These people have some serious issues to face, but they all come to realize that while each of us has to make our own decisions about our lives, opening up to others can help ease the burden. A fun, fast, enjoyable read. (  ) BookConcierge | Sep 29, 2023 | witchyrichy | Aug 31, 2023 | The Little Italian Hotel by Phaedra Patrick is a story of loss and grief and finding the strength and courage to go on. This book is also about the lesson that when you have helping hands along the way, the journey of grief becomes perhaps just the tiniest bit easier. As with The Secrets of Love Story Bridge, this story starts in sadness and a crisis but ends up a sweet, feel-good read with characters who make me smile.

( ) njmom3 | Jul 24, 2023 | Ginny, a radio show host who specializes in helping relationships, booked a trip for her thirtieth wedding anniversary, but when she told her husband about it, he answered with: I want a divorce. Heartbroken and embarrassed because she fixes everyone else's problems but didn't know about her own, Ginny spontaneously invites any four listeners on the trip with her. Find out what happens as four strangers get to know each other and Ginny and her husband do too. THE LITTLE ITALIAN HOTEL Is a heartwarming read that will have you falling in love with Italy and the characters who learned to care about others, learned to care about themselves, learned to not give up on their present-day situations, and learned to forget about the past. Enjoy!! 5/5 This book was given to me by the publisher in print and via NetGalley for an honest review. (  ) SilversReviews | Jun 10, 2023 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique

There’s nothing wrong with this book but there’s not much there either. Loved the concept of a middle aged woman (who gives advice for a living) being thrown a curveball by her husband who takes a three week holiday in Italy along with four “broken hearted” people she met through her advice job. Result = Found family / less sadness and loneliness. The problem: I didn’t really care about any of them.
As I type I am revising down to two stars.
I guess I want this same framework in the hands of a different author who might provide me with more rounded characters and a more satisfying ending.
