| 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.
