But since this book, this story, is a memoir, I won’t talk more about the events, but rather the way author Babette Fraser Hale has chosen to present them, which she has done beautifully.
Overall, Invitation to Italy is a satisfying summer read, with great characters and a fabulous setting. Goes well with: grilled calamari and prosecco.
At only 193 pages, Shadow of the Witch is a fast read, but a meaty one, and the perfect companion on a rainy weekend.
Overall, this is a deeply satisfying novel with excellent characters and rich storytelling.
From the first page to the last, this book is a tender, honest, period piece that shows the real meaning of “chosen family” and the strength behind such creations.
