About this listen

A bundle of mysterious letters. A trip to Venice. A journey she’ll never forget.

When Luna loses her beloved mother, she’s bereft: her mother was her only family, and without her Luna feels rootless. Then the chance discovery of a collection of letters in her mother’s belongings sends her on an unexpected journey.

Following a clue in the letters, Luna packs her bags and heads to Venice, to a gorgeous but faded bookshop overlooking the canals, hoping to uncover the truth about her mother’s mysterious past.

Will Luna find the answers she’s looking for – and finally find the place she belongs?

Beautiful story

This ended up to be a wonderful story! At first I thought I wouldn’t like it. The characters were too hippie - and I was a hippie in my youth! Then I really got roped into the story.

Great Story!

this is a very poignant story of finding your way in this world. Luna has had an unconventional life and continues her way that is sweet and heartbreaking with a wonderful ending.

The story is lovely, funny, a bit pedantic at times. But the reader has absolutely no sense of Italian. it was infuriating enough that I almost quit listening several times. Shameful and disturbing.

Nice book, horrible pronunciation

I loved all the characters in this book as they are funny and lovely. It made me feel all kinds of emotions as I went along with Luna’s journey of self-discovery.

The book deserves all the stars because the narrator was enjoyable which made the story even better than it already is.

Looking forward to more.

What a beautiful journey

Enjoyed the lighthearted story…an easy read. The narrators voice was pleasant, but she butchered the pronunciation on numerous words. Your readers especially need to know how to pronounce foreign words properly…that can really make a listen unenjoyable.

I had to read this book for book club, it was terribly boring. Otherwise I would have dropped it.

I struggled to finish it, not for the action lover
