MY REVIEW
What I loved about this story... The description of both the location and the characters that transported me directly to Italy and want to stay there. Such a beautifully written story. There's just something about a family drama or mystery that always draws me in and this story was no different.
What I didn't like about this story... This was one of those stories that immediately when I finished it I couldn't quite remember what I had just read. There was no staying power with the story with this one. If I picked this up to read again I probably wouldn't have remembered much. This may be a me thing rather than the story, though. Also, at 304 pages I would have loved to have more of the story and follow the main character for a bit longer...
Would I recommend... This was an ok read. If this is your thing, do pick it up.
