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.

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.

Unacceptable ending

Loved the switch between the 40's and 70's, and wasn't irritating as so many time swaps can be. The characters had flaws, but still likeable.
The descriptions were so authentic and well written, and the storyline exciting.
However, really disliked the ending. I felt really let down.

Great story and the characters felt 'real'
