Synopsis

Two feuding families, two love stories - and a lot of delicious Italian food.

Pieta Martinelli's sister is getting married. Since she is a bridal designer it falls to her to make the wedding gown. But Pieta is distracted by a series of unanswered questions. Why is her father feuding with another Italian in the neighbourhood? Why is her mother so faded and sad? And could the man she's always held a torch for really be getting married to someone else?

As Pieta stitches and beads her sister's wedding gown she uncovers the secrets that have made her family what it is and that stand between her and happiness.

THE ITALIAN WEDDING is a feast of food and love. It's about discovering who your parents really are. And who you really want to be.

About Nicky Pellegrino

When Nicky Pellegrino's Italian father came to England he fell in love with and married a Liverpool girl. He brought to his new family his passion for food and instilled in them what all Italians know - that you live to eat instead of eating to live. This Italian mantra is the inspiration behind Nicky's delicious novels. When Nicky met and married a New Zealander she moved to Auckland where she works as a journalist and edits a woman's magazine.

Užteko tik pirmo knygos puslapio ir iškart patraukė dėmesį - buvo pasidalinta itališko baklažanų apkepo receptu (artimiausiu metu planuoju išbandyti) ❤️ Bet kuo toliau - tuo knyga pačiai atrodė labai ištęsta...

A year or two ago, I discovered that I can't stand to read about supernatural things anymore; I needed a break to finish the HUGE tremendous list I have of vampires, werewolves and witches lists. So I bought several books of other styles and one of them was Nicky Pallegrino's book The Italian Weddin......more

A story that engaged me, family and Italian cooking. Parents whose story is told so that an understanding of an long time feud is reached. Dreams lost and found. Two girls who follow their dreams. Although there will be more told in a further book. Totally delightful story.......more

Jeigu reikia trumpų atostogų, Nicky Pellegrino knyga ant naktinio stalelio yra geriausia išeitis. Jausmingos, šiltos istorijos, pagardintos itališkais receptais nepalieka abejingų. Na ir šis romanas buvo ne išimtis Nicky braižui. Italo Bepio ir anglės Katerinos šeima gyvena Londone, čia jie turi savo......more

Ar kada nors teko susidometi šalimi, kurioje neesate buvę, bet atrodo, kad jau ten lankėtės? Man taip yra s......more
