Between Two Seas

Between Two Seas by Carmine Abate
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5/5 
Basic premise of obsession, family, and culture, a good vibrant tale of Italian food and love of life. Speedy read, the ending was expected but not made boring by the predictability. I liked the details, it was very easy to maintain a colorful mental pictures while reading. No great insights into the human condition here, it’s a juicy read filled with beautiful scenery/photography and mouthwatering food/women rather than a savory one. There’s a bit of triumph, a bit of tragedy, and a whole lot of the incomprehensible human condition. All in all a decent read.
