3.5 Stars

The Witches of Santo Stefano is the multigenerational story following 5 women in the Rossi family across Italy to the United States and back again.

We follow newly separated Cassie Graves to Italy as she begins healing her broken heart by finding answers to her lost ancestry. Along the way, we get as caught up in the mystery of her family as Cassie, we feel her betrayal from her husband, and we fall in love with both the people in Santo Stefano and the town itself. The story moves between Cassie's story and that of the women before her in an intriguing tale of powerful women.

While I enjoyed this book very much, there were times I struggled to follow who was who and how they were related. A family tree would have been very helpful. I also didn't resonate with the title of Witches, these women were intuits with the healing touch.

I do recommend this book to anyone who loves a good multigenerational story built around strong female leads.
