Inspiring The last of the series. It's sad to see it end. A wonderful story of courageous people from WWII to the new millinium. A must read. Inspiring The last of the series. It's sad to see it end. A wonderful story of courageous people from WWII to the new millinium. A must read.

I am sad that Paul Salsini's Tuscan series is over for me. He brought the characters to life for me and the region where my grandfather emigrated from, to America. Paul talks about the characters still speaking to him with each book in the series. He made them part of me, too, with his writing. Grazie mille, Paul! Ciao!
