When I first heard that my favorite legal thriller author was taking a step into the historical fiction field, I was conflicted- excited to hear a new story from a voice I admire and love; nervous that I would be missing something of her in this book. Excited won out and I stalked Edelweiss, the pre order sites and others to get a glimpse of this book. What was delivered was one of the BEST novels I have read. While changed in genre, Scottoline’s strong feminine voice rang true and her story telling power jumped off the page. Emotional, tender, heartbreaking and hopeful all these words ring true in speaking of this story. I didn’t want the book to end as I wasn’t ready to let Elisabetta, Marco and Sandro go. Knowing the desire Lisa had to write this novel her research and ability to spin yarn was palpable while reading. I absolutely loved these characters (flaws and all), the story and the premise. This has truly taught me that Lisa can write any genre. Breathtaking and a sorry that will stay with me for a very long time. BRAVA, Lisa!!!
