Não foi assim uma leitura por 'aí além' mas não desgostei de todo. é uma história e amor não resolvida na adolescência e que acartou alguma infelicidade até poder ser arrumada 'como os intervenientes desejavam'.
Lê-se muito bem entre dois livros mais pesados, para desanuviar ou assim despreocupadamente, nas férias.
A história à volta da tapeçaria é engraçada e bem construída. Sem ser de tirar o folêgo é um livrinho de leitura muito agradável, um pouco na onda do "A da...more

It's a love story, and normally I really can't take the cheesy love story lit. I find it boorish.

I really like being able to support local authors, and this author grew up in my hometown of Twin Falls, Idaho. I was able to attend a reading that she did a couple years ago when we both lived in Boise, Idaho. It's a fun little modern day story about a medieval tapestry and its history through the ages as told by a woman who visits Italy as a young woman and again as an adult.

Was a pretty good read, a wee, tiny bit slow to get into it, but once you are...
Very much a tale regarding the origins of the well known medeival tapestries. Interesting viewpoint, and not entirely without merit.
It does flip back and forth between the past and the present, and the ties between them.

recommends it for:
women looking for adventure, mere wits and love
there are far more important things than standing in front of the whole world in all glory because of some fruit of your labor.. like sharing that fruit with the ones who truly know it's value..

Acabei-o ontem à noite e já o recomendei a várias pessoas.
Gostei do mundo das artes, da história da tapeçaria, das lutas pelo leilão e claro, do romance entre a Alex e o Jake :)
