Twice Forgiven

Twice Forgiven: A Romance in Florence

By: John Mincarelli

After all the stories that Irene Landis has heard about Italian men, the last thing she wants on her first visit to Florence in the spring of 1966 is to have anything to do with any of them. Yet after a violent confrontation with a young Italian man on the platform at the Santa Maria Novella station, Irene becomes embroiled in a series of encounters that will rock her relationship with her daughter, threaten her marriage of twenty years, and force her to question long held convictions about life and love.
