Items related to Follow Your Heart
An international bestseller with tremendous word-of-mouth appeal, Follow Your Heart is a bittersweet, heartwarming novel spanning generations and teaching the universal truths about life, love, and what lies within each of us. Originally published in Italy, Follow Your Heart won the coveted Premio Donna Citta di Roma and sold over 800,000 copies in that country alone before hitting bestseller lists throughout the rest of Europe. Now North American readers can enjoy the novel that has won over the world.
It begins in late autumn 1992 as an elderly Italian woman, prompted by the knowledge of her encroaching death, sits down to write a letter to her granddaughter now grown and living in far-off America. Through these moving reflections, we see one life laid bare--joys, sorrows, regrets, and all. And through the eyes of a woman nearing the end of her days, we come to understand what life experience has taught her: that no matter what the stakes, we must look within ourselves and gather the courage to follow our hearts.

From AudioFile:
Alone and fearful of her encroaching death, an elderly Italian woman writes a letter of love, confession and advice to the granddaughter she raised, now estranged and living in America. Using a slight Italian accent and a conversational approach, Joan Plowright's mature voice enhances her flowing delivery. She conveys naturally the various emotions involved in reliving the past and revealing secrets--sometimes with sadness, joy and regret. Plowright is perfect for Susanna Tamaro's wonderful first-person message of love, truth, wisdom and courage; she leaves the listener wanting more--an unabridged version, perhaps. R.E.K./P.S.K.
