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.
Your writing is quite impressive, Melissa. Your ability to handle dialog seamlessly in a realistic voice is what I like most about your writing.
I got caught up in this story right away – I’m a sucker for any stories involving writing and coffee shops, and you set the tone for both just perfectly.
I like your characters very much as well, and agree that the dialogue flows effortlessly and very realistically.
Good story~I’m ready for the “second cup”!
And, btw, I meant “fearless” in a good way :)
