To do that, he needs to learn to speak Italian, and only one man is right for the job--Giancarlo Rosa. . .if Carter can survive him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiancarlo is nobody's fool. The middle-aged music professor does offer Italian lessons, but only to those who are truly motivated. If Carter wants to learn, he will have to prove himself: lessons three times a week, hours of studying, strict discipline. And there will be no questions about the professor's life--why he hasn't written music in years, why he lives alone, and why he left his homeland in the first place. Carter may see Italy as a land of romance, but Giancarlo knows just what disappointments and betrayals live under the Abruzzo sky. What begins as an apparent mismatch between mentor and student soon blossoms into something deeper--a friendship that carries them into the old country, where forgotten secrets may hold the key to a new lease on life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, in a land of sun, wine, new romance and old wounds, two men will embark on separate, unpredictable journeys that will take them deep into the untraveled places of the heart where everything must be learned. . .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for the Novels of Peter Pezzelli\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrancesca's Kitchen\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Home cooking, good pasta and traditional family values conquer all in this amusing and touching story.\"\u003cbr\u003e --\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Filled with warmth and humor, Pezzelli's latest novel entices.
