Katy's mom dies, and Katy can't cope. Carol was not only her mom but Katy's best friend, and life has lost its meaning.
Spontaneously Katy decides to go ahead and take the trip to Italy that she and her mother had planned before her mother died. And what a trip! It's two weeks in Positano, the most beautiful place on earth, Katy thinks, and she understands why her mom always wanted to return to this spot in Italy that Carol had visited and loved so much before Katy was born.
And then the most amazing thing happens...Carol is there, in Positano, and she's young and alive and happy. Katy is jubilant.
I enjoyed this wonderful story of life and love and joy, all set in amazing Italy. A delight.

When Katy Silver loses her mother to cancer, she is left lost because not only did she loose her mother, she lost her best friend. I know grief is hard, but I thought Katy was selfish and illogical. The way Katy treated her husband Eric was awful and she definitely depended on her mother more than her husband. The magical realism element didn't really work in this book for me. I did enjoy the Italian setting and that's probably the only aspect I liked.
