A true story of love, loss, and the mother-daughter relationship across generations, this biography describes Rebecca Huntley's search for her maternal grandmother's story. Following the death of her Italian Nonna, Huntley discovers that there was much unknown about the kind-hearted, quiet individual she thought she knew. With evocative stories and tender honesty, Huntley explores the young life of the woman who cooked masterfully and embroidered daily and those of the men and women in her family from Northern Queensland during World War 606 $aGrandmothers$xFamily relationships 606 $aMothers and daughters 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGrandmothers$xFamily relationships. 615 0$aMothers and daughters. 676 $a306.8745 676 $aa828.00 700 $aHuntley$b Rebecca$0999801 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480683603321 996 $aThe Italian girl$92295082 997 $aUNINA
