"My first Audiobookstore purchase. The app worked great.I purchased this audiobook after seeing the Netflix movie. I liked the movie but was unhappy with its vague ending of "what do you think happened" leaving me with a feeling that there was something I was missing. The book explores the inner life of the main character and reflects more on her relationship with her own mother. The main character is Italian, not English as in the movie, and explores more on her role as a daughter, mother, wife within the Italian culture which I found interesting. "
