From the back cover…
“After twenty years, Leo Pizzola has come back to the Tuscan village of Santo Fico, still single and still looking for a way to get rich. The town is as poor as it was when Leo left, yet some things have changed. Of Leo’s childhood companions, only little Guido, who everyone calls “Tojo,” embraces him. His best friend is long dead. The woman he once adored refuses to talk to him. And, worst of all, the kindly old town priest seems to have lost his faith. Perhaps what Santo Fico needs is a miracle – even if Leo and Topo have to manufacture one themselves. Now, as one botched scheme after another unravels, something completely unexpected happens, and wonders indeed begin to transform this Italian town, including the greatest miracle of all…
Published around the world, this debut novel sparkles with the Italian spirit and emotions that will dance off the page and into your heart.”

I really loved this book, so I picked it for the Surprise Bookring I'm in, organized by BunnyLady. I hope everyone likes it as much as I did. I'm sending some postcards, for each of you to pick one. The bookmark is to travel with the book. Enjoy
Mailed today to the person after me, Suefitz.
