Summary

The Angelotti family reels when the lost son, given up for adoption in the war, traces his birth family and returns to the fold, with devastating consequences.    

As poverty-stricken newlyweds, Laura and Giovanni Angelotti were forced to put their first child - a boy - up for adoption. They have had other children since, and their first little Italian cafe has become a restaurant empire, but Laura is still haunted by thoughts of the baby she lost.  

Tom is a successful businessman enjoying the fast-paced city lifestyle - until his best friend and business partner is killed in the 9/11 attacks and his world turns upside down. Searching for meaning in his life, he decides to track down his birth family: the Angelottis.  

But Laura has been keeping an explosive secret about Tom's parentage that means his reappearance in her life is bittersweet. She may have found her son, but will it be at the cost of everything it has taken her 50 years to build?

Simply wonderful!

The three books were an absolute delight. After listening to them all, one after the other, I am completely bereft.
I must admit, I started on book two, as the reviews of awful narration put me off listening to book one, but I got so involved in The Prodigal Daughter, I decided I must listen to The Food of Love first. Yes, the Italian voice was very off putting and false, but I loved the book. All three took me on a fabulous family journey, I loved the characters, the way the story carried through over seventy years, nothing was predictable but very believable, honestly I am so sad they have all left me. Enjoy your pleasurable time listening!
