For the dreamer and romantic inside of everyone. Elizabeth Spencer tells the tragic tale of a girl, not quite like the others falling in love. What sets The Light in the Piazza apart from most romances is that it isn't told from the girl's point of view, but from her mother's. Throughout the novella you see just how painful it is for a mother to let go of her daughter.
I went into The Light in the Piazza with a very open heart. I had a good idea of the plot line before picking up the novella and was already in love with it! The book made me fall even more in love with the plot and with the characters. Each character is unique and has a story all of their own and Spencer makes that very clear throughout the novel.
This book is the perfect book for the hopeless romantic, the tough analyzer, the dreamer, every person who has ever traveled or wanted to travel to Italy (me!), and the literature enthusiast! The Light in the Piazza will make you laugh, cry, rejoice, and want to throw the book against the wall and is one of my personal favorites!
