About the Book



"A girls' getaway to Northern Italy is just what friends Grace and Claire need. As they immerse themselves in the culture and laid back way of life, both women see how God is revealing his purpose in the lives they left at home . . . lives in desperate need of focus and peace"--



Book Synopsis



Chi trova un amico trova un tesoro.
"Whoever finds a friend finds a treasure."
Italian saying

Grace and Claire have formed a close friendship over their love of reading. After many years and many books that provided armchair adventures, the time has come for them to go somewhere instead of only dreaming of someday.

Traveling to Venice, Florence, and Bellagio, the Suitcase Sisters find themselves immersed in the magnificent works of art, scrumptious gelato flavors, and endless pasta variations of Italy. And they discover a vulnerability to disclose their struggles in ways they never did at home. As Grace experiences a newfound freedom and confidence in who she is, Claire wrestles with painful memories of her teen years.

A special dinner party brings unexpected revelations about faith and God's nearness. Then a life-changing moment on the shores of Lake Lugano causes Grace and Claire to discover they are not just tourists but pilgrims on a path to becoming all God created them to be.

Robin Jones Gunn whisks you away to experience the incredible culture of Northern Italy in this inspiring, faith-based contemporary fiction with themes of European travel, midlife adventures, and lifelong friendships, making this a perfect book club selection.

An Italian Adventure

I was first introduced to Robin Jones Gunn through her Christy Miller series, and I have always appreciated how her books are not just “clean” but truly filled with characters who seek to follow Christ. That is rare and refreshing and it is why I keep coming back to her stories. In this second book of the Suitcase Sisters series, friends Grace and Claire make their dream trip to Italy. Since Italy is my dream destination, I happily lived vicariously through their adventures exploring historic sites and scenic views. I especially enjoyed how their friendship, built around a shared love of books, made their bond feel so genuine and relatable. What I loved most was how the trip deepened their friendship. I have not been to Italy but marked off a bucket list item with a friend last year, and it reminded me how travel allows you to connect deeper and share your heart. This is a perfect book for us bookish girls. If you enjoy stories with travel and adventure, laugh out loud moments, and clear faith themes, this book is for you. It is part of a series but could easily be read as a standalone.

Delightful

It is thrilling to be off on another travel adventure with two sweet friends courtesy of Robin Jones Gunn. There is always so much food, art, culture, and did I say food? And as always there are also important life lessons to be learned and shared. These lessons evolve over time as we travel to Venice, Florence,and San Mamete, meeting hosts who truly understand the meaning of hospitality and generously offer it to people along the way. We are blessed to see the impact that has on the lives of the recipients. Robin Jones Gunn is a gifted writer, one who touches women's hearts in a special way. Her writing is tender as she ministers to readers who identify or empathize with the hurts experienced by her characters. I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of Gelato at the Villa from Revell without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
