Canadian Jen's Reviews > The Good Left Undone

I grew up with Italians. I was indoctrinated into their culture learning the curse words, the talking with the hands, the loud passionate voices, the delicious Nutella, gnocchi, pasta and later the homemade wine! Ooooh lala. Even some of those Italian mamas chasing my friends with a slipper or a wooden spoon.

This story was much more than what I was expecting. It’s a beautiful multi generational story. Matilda, the matriarch, is facing old age and death. It’s her reflection on her life, her mother’s own love stories that she shares with her granddaughter.

It spans from the 30’s to present. Trudging through the war, the losses, the grief and at the heart of it, the family. The strong and courageous women of generations.

Bellisimo!
