A romance that will take you to the most remote places of your heart. Along paths you've never known before, guided by the eyes of a woman who already knows the journey very well.
Sensing imminent death, an Italian woman sits down to write a long letter to the granddaughter she raised—now so far away, living in the United States—to record what neither of them was able to say or hear. When her granddaughter returns, she will find only the thread of thoughts and feelings, tenderness and hope, loneliness and bitterness that life has woven. Through the letter, she will learn about the family's history, the grandmother's quarrels with her daughter—her mother—who died, the disagreements and wounds that never healed.
Through these moving reflections, we see a life laid bare—the feelings, the forbidden passions, the sorrows, the mistakes and successes. Through the eyes of a woman nearing the end, we come to understand what life experience has taught her: no matter what is at stake, we must look within ourselves and muster the courage to follow our hearts.
Go Where Your Heart Tells You is a powerful and tender novel that tells us universal truths about existence, love, and what we accumulate within ourselves throughout life.
