LibraryThing book review...
Very Valentine by Adriana Trigiani
Valentine Roncalli is one of three sisters and a brother in her large, Italian family. She works with her grandmother in the family business, the Angelini Shoe Company. Valentine's brother, Alfred, wants to sell the building and the business. He feels it is time for their grandmother to retire. Valentine wants to save the business and is intent on finding a way to do so. A romance with two different men adds to the complications, as does a trip to Italy...
Valentine is a very likeable character who is struggling to find herself. This story is filled with wonderful family members, sexy men, delicious food, and lots of love. I really enjoyed reading this book and felt a lot of kinship with Valentine and her struggles. It has a lovely ending, but it also leaves a few openings for future books.

I have a couple of Adriana Trigiani's books on my shelf waiting to be read. This one sounds like a fun one!
This sounds like a nice book. I cant say I have heard of this author but food, Italy and romance what more could you ask for :)
Good Review...I reviewed it and interviewed the author...she is so nice. This will be the first of a trilogy about Valentine. I can't wait for the next one!
