Description

In this warm, enchanting debut novel, Rosanna Chiofalo evokes the extraordinary beauty of Venice, the charm of a close-knit New York neighbourhood, and the joys of friendship, family, and surprising second chances...Valentina DeLuca has made hundreds of brides' dreams come true.

At Sposa Rosa, the Astoria, New York, boutique where she, her sisters, and their mother design and sew couture knock-off gowns, she can find the perfect style for even the most demanding customer.

Now, it's her turn. Valentina has loved Michael Carello ever since he rescued her from a cranky shopkeeper when she was ten years old.

He's handsome, chivalrous, and loyal. And in a few weeks, she's going to marry him - in Venice. But just when she thinks everything is falling into place, Valentina is forced to re-examine her life to see what truly makes her happy. And as she soon learns, in a place as magical as Venice, what seems like misfortune can turn out to be anything but, although who knows what may be waiting around the next corner?

The chance to enjoy a moonlit gondola ride, to sip Prosecco in St. Mark's Square, to eat mouth-watering gelato, to put aside "sensible" for once and see where the warm Italian breezes guide her as she visits all the sights she's dreamed of: The Doge's Palace, Il Rialto, the little islands of Murano and Burano. And maybe, along the way, to discover that bella fortuna - good luck - isn't what you're given, but what you make.
