Fiona’s mother confessed that her father, Freddie wasn’t her real father on her deathbed years before, but Fiona has never really thought too much about this man. I was gifted this book by Julianne MacLean, Lake Union Publishing and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.įiona starts another day of taking care of her paraplegic father when she receives a phone call from Italy- her biological father has passed away and has written her into his will. One tiny disappointment: the story could have had a plot adjustment and still have shock value without the text ‘message’ episode including a minor. As you turn over the last page, you’ll realize what could have been if characters could turn back time.
Let MacLean sweep you away to Montepulciano where you’ll visit Maurizio Wines, one of the oldest and largest wineries in Tuscany, and have a front-row seat to an emotion-filled love affair. “What is that you’re wearing? Eau de Gigantic Inheritance?” I guarantee you’ll feel the tension and attraction between the main characters and your emotions will take a roller coaster ride as they struggle to make sense of their future. Added to this ‘lovey-dovey’ mix, is a great mystery, full of hairpin turns you won’t see coming, prose with tongue in cheek sarcasm, and the essence of Tuscany with its old-world wines, vineyards and great food.
A girl who discovers that love is the greatest of all gifts and that her most important inheritance is love. Yes, you’ll read about a greedy character with a sense of entitlement, but you’ll also read about a girl who has always put other people’s needs first. There have been many stories written about a character who discovers they’ve been left a vast inheritance from previously unknown people, but Julianne MacLean has definitely poured her heart and soul into this tale and given it soul, making it stand out from the rest. The love just emanates from the pages, and you’ll be left with a better understanding of sacrificial love. This delightful dual timeline, set in 19, is a tale told from a mother and her daughter’s point of view and focuses on love and family. MacLean deftly explores the double edge sword of secret-keeping. This is a beautiful and captivating tale about one woman’s journey to Tuscany to uncover the secret her parents wanted to keep buried.
