Old
Feuds, Fragility And Family Ties Form A Recipe For Intrigue In Linda
Lo Scuro ’s novel “The Sicilian Woman’s Daughter”


Retirement
in a smart part of London has been good to Mary and she’s long
since made peace with her traumatic Italian past - but it seems that
Sicily is not yet quite done with her.


When
trouble finds Mary’s family, she’s forced back to visit the
village in Sicily - and the demons that live there - in a bid to help
her scheming aunt who cooks up revenge alongside her lasagnas and
éclairs.


As
Mary stares her background in the face, she confronts uncomfortable
truths about her present as well as the life that she thought she had
avoided among the lemon groves and abuse. Re-examining her life, Mary
realizes that fixing the part of her that was broken is the only way
to find peace.


Linda
Lo Scuro expertly weaves intrigue with imagery in this poignant tale
of family, friendships and old mafia ties. Filled with love, laughter
and devilry, this stunning novel is hard - if not impossible - to put
down.


What
the reviewers say


“An
extraordinary and inherently riveting read from beginning to end, The
Sicilian Woman's Daughter is an original and
deftly crafted novel showcasing the genuine flair for narrative
storytelling by author Linda Lo Scuro (a pen name) ... highly
recommended for community library Contemporary General Fiction
collections.”
- Midwest Book Review



“I
have always considered women to be the ‘power behind the throne’
... and this book proves it to be true. It was fascinating to read
about how different her lives were depending on where she was or who
she was that day. This is an addictive read from page one to last and
thoroughly enjoyable. Great book!”
- Librarian, Canada
