The Good Left Undone Book Review

“The Good Left Undone” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read. Matelda, the Cabrelli family’s matriarch, has always been brusque and opinionated. Now, as she faces the end of her life, she is determined to share a long-held secret with her family about her own mother’s great love story: with her childhood friend, Silvio, and with dashing Scottish sea captain John Lawrie McVicars, the father Matelda never knew. . . . In the halcyon past, Domenica Cabrelli thrives in the coastal town of Viareggio until her beloved home becomes unsafe when Italy teeters on the brink of World War II. Her journey takes her from the rocky shores of Marseille to the mystical beauty of Scotland to the dangers of wartime Liverpool—where Italian Scots are imprisoned without cause—as Domenica experiences love, loss, and grief while she longs for home. A hundred years later, her daughter, Matelda, and her granddaughter, Anina, face the same big questions about life and their family’s legacy, while Matelda contemplates what is worth fighting for. But Matelda is running out of time, and the two timelines intersect and weave together in unexpected and heartbreaking ways that lead the family to shocking revelations and, ultimately, redemption.

Brief The Good Left Undone by Adriana Trigiani

omenica Cabrelli leaves Italy as a young women to spend time in Marseille, then is moved to Scotland where she spent the war years as a nurse. She pines for home, but with Italy under control of the Fascists it isn’t safe to go home. She isn’t able to return to Italy until her daughter, Matelda is 6 years old. Years later, Matelda passes on the long-buried secrets of the past to her granddaughter who is just about to get married. I found the historical setting most interesting – the treatment of Italians abroad and the assumption that they were all evil Fascists was something I hadn’t understood before. The tragic sinking of the SS Arandora Star troop ship was an event that I barely knew about. Told with great emotion and sentimentality, this novel reads like an epic, though I did find myself getting confused about the significance and relation of the many characters. However, the story didn’t resonate as strongly with me as I expected it to. Why was Domenica’s past kept such a secret? Why was it so difficult for Matelda to talk about it? There seemed to be some loose ends that were never tied together in a believable fashion.
