Review by Darcey K Pickett
Ava, who has recently lost
everything, receives a surprise inheritance from her Grandmother Sophia. This
surprise comes at a good time and Ava leaves her home in England and heads to
her grandmother’s home in rural Greece. Ava has no idea what she
will find once she arrives, but as she comes into the rural area she is faced
with the small farmhouse her grandmother has left her. The town has
an older community and where she is mistaken for her grandmother. Ava
does not know too much of her grandmother’s time there in Greece, so she begins
to do some digging.
This is a story with an old
world charm, I felt the story between Ava and Sophia was so seamless. I
found myself feeling the magic of the two generations in the telling of this
story. Ms. Swartz has done a wonderful job merging present day to
World War II era.
I highly recommend this
historical romance; you will not be sorry traveling down these paths.
About the Author:
After
spending three years as a diehard New Yorker, Katharine Swartz now lives in the Lake District in England with her
husband, their five children, and a Golden Retriever. She enjoys such novel
things as long country walks and chatting with people in the street, and her
children love the freedom of village life—although she often has to ring four
or five people to figure out where they’ve gone off to.
She writes
women’s fiction as well as contemporary romance under the name Kate Hewitt, and
whatever the genre she enjoys delivering a compelling and intensely emotional
story.
