What our Readers Say

testimonials

True to the title, this book was magic!
The ideal fusion of thoroughly studied history, generation-spanning love, a realistic portrayal of America’s hometown of Plymouth, Massachusetts, and subtly conveying optimism and hope. I could not put this enjoyable read down!

Heartfelt and insightful. Worth the read!
Wow! What a story. It’s not only about two people who early in life get to experience love, but also how a community in Italy and then generations later, in Plymouth, provide support and contribute to healing when faced with unimaginable loss. Family and friends are the true healers in this world. This story illustrates that perfectly.

Great read
Best love story, couldn’t put it down. There was a quote so true ‘the love inside, you take it with you’ love never dies.

Inspiring, heartwarming story about family and lifelong love
What a treat! This was truly a well-researched and heartwarming story of family and lifelong love. I just completed Andrew’s novel. Bravo, great story and inspiring characters. Well done…

 It is Magical Indeed!
This book is magical to me because it takes me back to a time when my grandfather was in WW1 in Italy. I can imagine the courtship of my own grandparents on both sides of my family in Italy. The Magical Espresso Machine is a light and beautiful love story. A story of the resilience of immigrants and brief history lesson ( which I appreciated greatly). Thank you Andrew Botieri for writing a book that will be enjoyed by young and old. I will be ordering more of this book to be enjoyed by my siblings.
