FerneMysteryReader | Mar 27, 2024 |   No va a pasar a la historia de la literatura. a ser una novela de referencia, pero esto no quiere decir nada, hay muchas que están en la ella y, a mi juicio, sobran. La autora anuncia en ella una serie titulada Las hijas perdidas. (  ) Biblioteca-LPAeHijos | May 7, 2023 | ) pennykaplan | Apr 4, 2023 | I always enjoy books about wineries, Italy and family secrets and this one didn't disappoint. It was also a romance too but not too cheesy. This is the second book I've read by her and I was not disappointed. Looking forward to reading her others too. ( ) sweetbabyjane58 | Dec 20, 2022 | Lily couldn’t believe it. She also couldn’t believe that her grandmother may have been adopted and was a Prima Ballerina. We meet Estee in 1937 and Lily present day as Lily tries to find about her family's past. She had some clues from a box she received that was addressed to her grandmother found at a home for unwed mothers. Was her grandmother the one who was adopted or the one who had a baby out of wedlock. And…how is she going to find out anything about her grandmother with the few clues she has from the box...a recipe for a chocolate dessert and the name of a theater, La Scala Academy. When Lily went to Italy and stopped in a bakery with the recipe, the recipe definitely caused a stir when she showed it to the owner of the bakery. In fact, the owner was furious that Lily had a copy of this recipe that she said has been kept secret for decades. Want to find out the connection between the recipe, the bakery owner, and La Scala and why the bakery owner was not happy? THE ITALIAN DAUGHTER has all the answers for you. A lovely read set in romantic Italy…and this book definitely doesn’t lack romance. :) Loved it….you will cheer and cry along with the characters. 5/5 This book was given to me by Bookouture via NetGalley for an honest review.

This utterly enchanting and heartbreaking novel tells the story of lost loves, family secrets and enduring hope--perfect for fans of Rebecca Serle, Sophie Kinsella, and Alys Murray. Italy, 1946. "Estee, I bought this ring years ago and have kept it safe ever since. You're the only woman I've ever loved." She reached for Felix's hand and gently closed it over the box. "No," she whispered. "I want you to propose only when you're truly free." London, present day: Lily clutches a faded piece of paper in her hands, knowing that her life will never be the same again. Whilst grieving for her late father, she is told that her grandmother was born at Hope's House, a home for unmarried mothers, the only clues to her past contained on a handwritten Italian recipe and an old theatre program. Desperate for answers, Lily accepts a job on an Italian vineyard in the heart of picturesque Como - a dream her father once shared. Arriving at the palatial home of the Martinelli family, Lily is captivated by the acres of vines that surround her and instantly feels at home. She is also struck by their charming son Antonio and as they chat long into the night over a candlelit dinner, he offers to help Lily discover her family's heritage. As Lily unravels the truth of her own legacy, she begins to fall more in love with Italy and with Antonio. And tracing the recipe back to a bakery in a hilltop village, she soon unearths a tragic love story that changes everything... But when Lily discovers who her grandmother really was, can she too have the courage to follow her heart and leave her old life behind? Or will her family's heart-wrenching story force her home?

I was enchanted by the story. In the pleasure of reading dual timelines, as indispensable as both features are to the storyline, it is sometimes the past, sometimes the present, that offers more intrigue and/or takes my breath away. In this novel, I was mesmerized and immersed in the present and the past, and together, a most romantic excursion by armchair travel in Italy, that met every anticipation of falling in love with Italy and falling in love in Italy. Magnificent! I loved the novel from beginning to end.
I look forward to reading more of the series and being captivated once again by the author’s writing. (
