I loved this book! The Sicilian Inheritance had a bit of mystery, historical fiction, mafia, and romance. I loved the dual POVs and dual timelines. Both were very engaging. I loved how it was a story of friendship, with some romance and adventure sprinkled in! Being of Sicilian decent, I found it very interesting to learn about some of historical facts and references to actual towns and traditions. A lot of it made me reflect on my own family traditions, what I experienced when i visited Sicily. The story really pulled me into the struggles the Sicilian women women face. I felt both characters were strong women, having to face their own personal struggles and learning to persevere. I thought the whole book was magical, and now I want to sell off all my things and move to Sicily!
