In the brilliant Greek sunshine of a small Aegean island, Beth and Cesare meet-and thus begins a transformative love affair that spans two continents, two decades, and two lifetimes. Cesare is a cosseted Italian boy, raised in a prosperous town where his family has lived for five hundred years; Beth, an ambitious American dreamer born to hippies and raised on a commune. The events of September 11 serve as a catalyst for the unfolding of their story, in which passion struggles against the inexorable force of patria. An examination of the intersection between Europe and America, the old and the new, L'America is above all a remarkable evocation of the dizzying, life-changing power of first love. The novel of the American in Europe has a long and lustrous pedigree. Now Martha McPhee joins the ranks of its most impressive practitioners.

L'America
I'm not sure about this one, the writing is confusing at time. I picked up the book because the premise seemed to make for such a good story. An American girl falls her Italian friends love interest while on vacation in Greece. The book is confusing because the person telling the story keeps changing without warning. I was going to put it down around page 30, I hope I'm not going to regret that!
So I kept reading and I'm not happy that I spent so much time reading this book. I'm standing behind the premise of the book which was very good, and I really liked the side stories. The book was just so slow and not in an enjoyable long stroll on the beach kind of way. Nope, just SLOW and dull at times. I wanted to like this book so much, it just kept falling down when I thought it was going to get up and go.
I would read something else by this author because I loved her ideas.
