One More Moon is not the kind of book I usually read, but I was glad I read this one. Told from the voice of a 98 year old looking back on her life, it was real enough that you could picture yourself there in Naples with her, but she did repeat herself enough to be annoying. Maybe, though, that's how some older folks talk and maybe really realistic.

In her early 50's she goes from being a wife and mother to owning a pensione. Born and raised in Germany, Italy is now her home and she's determined to make this a success.

I enjoyed reading about her efforts, with the background of Hitler and Mussolini changing their dreams and forcing them to flee. Good story, but could have been shorter if all the repetitions were removed.
