The multiple POVs were seamless and cleverly done and though the mystery aspect was resolved somewhat early on for the reader, for the characters, it was not, which made it really intriguing for me. Highly recommended!...more

I would classify it as a novel of suspense rather than a thriller, but it definitely entertained and bought up some topics that feel very relevant to today. Looking forward to see what this promising author comes up with next!...more

I'm sorry to say, it didI had been saving this book, because I thought, given the description, it would be a really special treat, right up my alley. I'm sorry to say, it didn't quite live up to my expectations. The story is told in dual POVs and while I was fascinated by the historical story of Serafina, the present day Sara's voice grated and her story felt repetitive and slow. So I guess half the book was great and half the book was kind of not for me, hence the three stars. I did feel I learned something about Sicily and its history that I did not know before. For that reason, I am glad to have read it, but all in all, it felt like a bit of a slog....more
