Paying It Forward (Fa' l'italiano! (Be Italian!) Book 4)

Ivanka is having difficulty coming to terms with her father's death and seeks out another elderly man to give her solace. Meanwhile, she and David continue to help the tide of immigrants in their bit of Tuscany. A wonderful interaction between her newfound elderly friend and a young Nigerian who is struggling to find work, becomes a strong bond and Ivanka finds herself starting to feel happy again. A wonderful story about the true meaning of life, love and friendship against almost impossible odds..June Finnigan - Writer

Another easy to read, touching book. The descriptions help to bring the story and the characters to life and there are many lessons to be learned within it’s pages.

This was not as good as Ivanka's other books in this series. It felt a bit preachy in places and there was not much this time about her and David's life in Italy. There was a bit too much about politics, prejudice, refugees and social changes that have taken place. Still worth a read, but I found myself skipping whole chunks when this happened. It does make you think about how lucky we are and what it is like to become old.
