Teresa Capasso cannot believe that today the last of her three daughters is getting married. As the wedding preparations and rituals move forward, Teresa has reason to suspect that her youngest daughter's husband is physically abusing her. For the sake of another daughter's wedding, she is forced to temper her concern. It is harder than she imagines. Teresa thinks how different her own wedding day had been, a seeming lifetime ago in the small mountain village of Torrecuso, Italy. Like Wine chronicles not only what is special and unique about Italian culture on both sides of the Atlantic, it is about a young woman who took control of her destiny. Teresa's story takes us through 30 years of challenging, humorous and touching experiences of her international marriage, which comes to a modern day climax on the day of her daughter's wedding.

I accidently stumbled upon this book (which doesn't happen often enough) and of-course read it in a heart beat (3h).
The story is not unheard of, but still interesting. It follows a couple of grown up siblings who were raised on an isolated part of land and now are discovering the world for the first time. The story also follows up on the life of their mother before they were born ( she was some famous actress) and the events that lead to their isolation.
All in all, it's not a bad story, again, just something to occupy your time, nothing life changing.
I'm not quite sure it deserves full 4 *, mainly because of the very, well, flat and unconvincing ending, and quite honestly i think this if the very first time I'm saying this- it all happens too fast.
Too many things happen, mainly due to the passive acceptance of the characters, which can be really annoying sometimes. The author made the characters so, well, nice, and normal but the environment around them completely insane, and that is a quite a thorn in the eye. Somewhere in the second third of the book you keep expecting for some big change , some small revolution, something to stair up that passive acceptance- but alas, nothing happens. Everything fluently goes to a happy ending.
And i just don' t like that. That differs a summer read and anything even a bit more brain stimulating.
