The Ice-Cream Makers

Second-Hand

Excellent condition

A dazzling novel about an Italian ice-cream dynasty, tradition, ambition, and the sensation of lemon sorbet melting on your tongue.

In the far north of Italy lies the valley of the ice cream makers- about a dozen villages where, for generations, people have specialised in making ice cream. Master maker Giuseppe Talamini claims it was actually invented here. Every spring his family sets off for the ice-cream parlour in Rotterdam, returning to the mountains only in winter.

Eldest son Giovanni Talamini decides to break with this tradition by pursuing a literary career. But then one day his younger brother, Luca, approaches him with a highly unusual request.

Now Giovanni faces a dilemma- serve the family's interests one last time or choose his own path in life, once and for all.
