Angela Di Sciascio's father can no longer describe his past, lost in
a world ravaged by Alzheimer's disease. Deciding not to let his story
fade, Angela embarks on a voyage that takes her through four seasons in
her father's Italy, reconnecting to her ancestry and absorbing all of
its chaos, beauty and style.
Meal by meal at her father's family table and step by step through
the Italian countryside, she slowly comes to understand the young
Valentino who left for the new world.
Along the way, she discovers the simple pleasures of rustic polenta
high in the mountains, pesto on the Ligurian coast and shares
melt-in-your-mouth rag with friends inla boisterous Rome. But she is
always drawn back to the small hamlet tucked in the embrace of the
Abruzzo mountains and the cuisine that feeds her soul, sharing with us
her family's traditional recipes, as well as the joy of finding her
father's home.
