The House at the Edge of Night

I received this book as a goodreads giveaway. I finally got around to reading it and I must say what a pleasant surprise it was! I started out slow but after I got about 25% into the book I didn't want to put it down.
It's a wonderful story about quite a few generations of a family that you start to feel as if they are your own relatives. It all is centered in a small Italian island and specifically in a house/ bar. I feel as if I was the walls of the house learning to love this family as its characters came through it. Full of emotions and love and hurt and heartbreak and hope. What a great first book by Catherine Banner
