Summary
She hardly knew her Italian mother, and her English father acts as if Valentina never existed. She despises country life almost as much as she despises her stepmother and stepsisters.
On board the houseboat named after her dead mother, Alba's life is little more than a selfish search for fun and pleasure. But the discovery of her mother's portrait sends the girl back to Italy to find her family - and the truth about Valentina. Amid the olive groves of the Amalfi coast, its balmy air rich with the scent of figs, a tale of deception and betrayal is waiting to be discovered. It is a tale that takes Alba into the past - but also gives her a new future.

The storyline....
is interesting in parts but didn't keep me interested throughout the book. The narrator was good at using different voices for the characters but I have heard better narrators. This book as far as I'm concerned is book 1 of 2 books, the second book is called The Italian Matchmaker which was a better book.

Unacceptable ending
I really enjoyed the story and have read others by this author. However the ending was not very conclusive so that was more than a little disappointing. Shame.

Turgid and dreary
This book has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The storyline is dreary and fails to generate any interest whatsoever. The characters are implausible and the narration falls far short of Ms McMahon’s usual high standard. A total waste of time and money. Certainly didn’t need to use the sleep timer to switch it off before falling asleep.
