I just finished Very Valentine by Adriana Trigiani.

I enjoyed it very much. A 34-year old italian woman living with her grandmother and apprenticing as a shoemaker in the family business since 1903 finds love and her true passion as an artist.

This is the 1st book I've read by this author and I'll check out others.
