I wanted to like it. I found all the talk about airplanes boring. It was just…boring. My mind is boggled by all the great five star reviews I've read.

It's up to Hattie to hold the family of 9 children together. One child becomes mentally ill, one son serves in Vietnam, one daughter had an affair with a man Hattie fell in love with 15 years before. All of her children longed for love and understanding from Hattie, but she seemed incapable of giving them that. ”

“Set in Siena, Italy, in 1723, this is the story of an arranged marriage, the corrupt Medici family, and the famous horse race, the Palio. Good story but way too much debauchery.”
