Told in two timelines, The Sicilian Inheritance is a richly woven story of Sara Marsala's journey to uncover the roots of her family and the story of her great grandmother, Serafina, who lived in Sicily in the early 1900s. 

This novel was beautifully narrated and I found the audiobook so immersive. Unlike many dual perspective/timeline stories, I felt drawn and tied to each perspective. Sara is so relatable, her restaurant and marriage have both failed in recent years and she is struggling to come to grips with what her life will look like now, all while traveling and fiercely missing her young daughter. Serafina built a life in the 1920s that had been previously impossible for women in Sicily and her personality is tenacious. 

I think this book delivers a bit of everything, mystery, romance, historical elements, and contemporary struggles all come together to create a story that I couldn't put down. If you were a fan of The Frozen River, this hits many similar notes. Highly, highly recommend!
