About The Sicilian Woman’s Daughter: When the novel opens,
Maria, the novel’s protagonist is living a charmed and comfortable
life with her husband, banker Humphrey and children, in London. The
daughter of Sicilian immigrants, Maria turned her back on her origins
during her teens to fully embrace the English way of life.
Despite her troubled and humble childhood, Maria, through her
intelligence, beauty and sheer determination, triumphantly works her
way up to join the upper middle-class of British society. But when a
minor incident awakens feelings of revenge in her, Maria is forced to
confront–and examine–her past.
As she delves deeper into her mother’s family history, a murky past
unravels–and Maria is swept up in a deadly and dangerous mire of
vendetta. Will Maria’s carefully-constructed, seemingly-idyllic
life unravel? Expect the unexpected in this outstanding new
mystery….
The Sicilian Woman’s Daughter is
a brilliantly-plotted, exceedingly well-told tale. Novelist Linda Lo
Scuro delivers a confident and captivating tale brimming with
tantalising twists, turns, and surprise, a to-die-for plot, and
realistic, multi-dimensional characters. Thoughtful and
thought-provoking, rich and riveting, The
Sicilian Woman’s Daughter is destined
to stay
with readers long after the final page is turned.
