"Sara Marsala barely knows who she is anymore after the failure of her business and marriage. On top of that, her beloved great-aunt Rosie passes away, leaving Sara bereft with grief. But Aunt Rosie's death also opens an escape from her life and a window into the past by way of a plane ticket to Sicily, a deed to a possibly valuable plot of land, and a bombshell family secret. Rosie believes Sara's great-grandmother Serafina, the family matriarch who was left behind while her husband worked in America, didn't die of illness as family lore has it . . . she was murdered. Thus begins a twist-filled adventure that takes Sara all over the picturesque Italian countryside as she races to solve a mystery and prove her birthright. Flashing back to the past, we meet Serafina, a feisty and headstrong young woman in the early 1900s thrust into motherhood in her teens, who fought for a better life not just for herself but for all the women of her small village. Unsurprisingly it isn't long before a woman challenging the status quo finds herself in danger. As Sara discovers more about Serafina she also realizes she is coming head-to-head with the same menacing forces that took down her great-grandmother. At once an immersive multigenerational mystery and an ode to the undaunted heroism of everyday women, The Sicilian Inheritance is an atmospheric, page-turning delight"--… (mehr)

Sara Marsala’s life is falling apart — her marriage is over, her business closed, and now her beloved aunt who raised her has died. But Aunt Rosie left Sara with a deed to some land in Sicily and made her promise to go and research the family mystery surrounding her namesake, her grandmother, Sarafina. Told in alternating POVs from Sara and Sarafina, The Sicilian Inheritance by Jo Piazza follows Sara’s journey while revealing Sarafina’s secrets. Ridiculous plot points and unnecessary characters aside, Piazza’s tale will keep readers looking for an easy and fun “beach” style read very happy. ( )

Sara has lost her restaurant and then she lost her husband. She is truly at a crossroads. So, when her beloved aunt passes away and leaves her a letter telling her to head to Sicily. Sara jumps at it! Sicily and her family heritage end up being a bit more than she bargained for.

Sara is a character that is a bit lost and I loved her! Then there is her grandmother, Serafina. Serafina’s tale begins in the early 1900s. She is a healer…but it is complicated. Sara needs to find out what happened to her to gain her inheritance.

I enjoy a novel with dual timelines and this one is right in my wheelhouse. The only reason for the 4 star rating, it slows down a bit in the middle. I wanted this to unfold quicker. But, the atmospheric setting and the family secrets are not to be ignored!

Need a good family mystery tale…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review. ( )

When Sara's adored great aunt died, she left her a ticket to to Sicily and paved the way for her to explore the family history and mysteries there. The timing was auspicious, since Sara's marriage was falling apart and she had been forced to close her restaurant. this novel moves back and forth between Sara's story in the present and the life of her great grandmother Serafina in Sicily in the early 1900's. Both women are strong and perceived as a threat to the status quo, which puts them in extreme danger. As Sara tries to learn about Serafina's murder so that she can claim her inherited land, she learns more than is safe about the culture of her ancestral village. The setting both past and present becomes quite vivid; because there are parallel characters in both times, i found that they became blended in my mind, leading to some confusion. I really liked the unexpected ending. ( )
