" I am no master craftsman when it comes to love, strictly an apprentice in training"
Valentina
" I am best self, the most alive I can be, when I'm creating in the shop. I would never admit this to a man I was interested in, but it's the truth. ( That sounds like me :P )Love is not the main course in the banquet of my life. It's dessert. My mother would say that's why I'm still single. And my sisters would say that I'm lying. But I know this to be true, that love is my treat, my tiramisu, because I'm living it. I know about women who drop the lives they lead in one place to go and be with a man in another. I'm fascinated by their impulse to choose the possibility of love over the certainty of work. I would never leave my work behind for a man, no matter how scrumptious he might be. I am, however interested in romance on my own terms, and in my own time." Page 100

I really loved the way the story started at Teodora wedding in Italy, back to New York, then in Buenos Aires, the second book I read for the same author and ofcourse revolving around a family bussiness of handmade shoes , filled with un-expected twists and turns..
& a Happy Ending ofcourse !
