| From Library Journal Most best sellers from abroad don't make it big in America， but this work-which has sold over 500，000 copies in Italy-may be different. Billed as an Italian Bridges of Madison County， it consists of a series of letters from an elderly woman in Trieste to her young granddaughter in America， admonishing her to "follow her heart."Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information， Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From AudioFile Alone and fearful of her encroaching death， an elderly Italian woman writes a letter of love， confession and advice to the granddaughter she raised， now estranged and living in America. Using a slight Italian accent and a conversational approach， Joan Plowright's mature voice enhances her flowing delivery. She conveys naturally the various emotions involved in reliving the past and revealing secrets--sometimes with sadness， joy and regret. Plowright is perfect for Susanna Tamaro's wonderful first-person message of love， truth， wisdom and courage; she leaves the listener wanting more--an unabridged version， perhaps. R.E.K./P.S.K.
