The Tuscan Contessa - Dinah Jefferies

Having previously read and loved Dinah Jefferies and I couldn't wait to get stuck into this one. This one is a different from her normal type of novel but it is equally as good.

I was gripped from the first page and found it very hard to put down.

If you weren't wanting a holiday before, you will after reading this. Several locations in Italy are featured including Rome, Florence and Tuscany. Having not been to some of these locations Dinah did a brilliant job at creating the visions, I could see myself there along side the characters as I was reading.

No one knows who to trust, even family are questioning family. This makes you question how well you know your own family.

This story is a question of hardship and love, and the trials and tribulations it goes through.

Who can you trust?

Let it Snow - Sue Moorcroft

Buy Here I have to be honest and say I am only 70% through this book, so I will review up to where I have read. When I started this book I was a bit unsure where it was going or what it was doing. However it was soon explained as the characters and the plot started to thicken. I am really enjoying getting to know the characters and going through their life with them. Highs and low. Of course as always some are more liked than others, but I'll let you make your own judgement on that! Sue really does describe the atmosphere and the locations so that you can see them and imagine you are there too. It's making me want to wrap up warm and go and play in the snow. I am excited to read the rest of the book and hopefully my predictions are correct.... Or not!
