THE LAST PROMISE

The beautiful and romantic story of Eliana focuses on an American trapped in a marriage to a philandering Italian who forces her to stay in Italy, or lose her son. Ross Story, another American, has moved to Italy "to escape a previous life," and when they fall in love, Eliana must make the impossible choice between her son and the man she loves. Jonathan Davis beautifully handles the long, complex sentences and the Italian phrases that add authenticity and texture to the story. His voice has a gentle, distinct touch, softening at the intimate, and rising in moments of joy or passion. The glorious Tuscan setting is a delicious bonus that will transport the listener. F.L.F.
