I read this novel couple of years back; till today I have fallen in love with it. This is kind of book that reveals the purity of love and it is beyond typical love story.
‘The Italian Matchmaker’ is a romantic novel where the whole story based in the fictional Italian village of Incantellaria on the Amalfi coast. The book beautifully explained beauty of the place and kind hearts of the Italians gives us a great desire to visit Italy one day.
