Description

Terwijl je heen en weer springt tussen het heden en het verleden leer je de kleurrijke personages steeds beter kennen, ga je met hen meeleven omdat je hun verschillende emoties voelt, kom je achter lang bewaarde geheimen en word je helemaal meegenomen dit verhaal vol (verboden) liefde, persoonlijke ontwikkeling, doorzettingsvermogen en twijfels, passie, verplichtingen, herinneringen, verdriet, hoop en mysterie. De personages worden realistisch en levensecht neergezet, ze dromen, hebben ambitie en willen het liefst hun gevoel volgen maar worden daarin nog wel eens tegengehouden door traditie, verwachtingen, ultimatums of zelf opgelegde toekomstbeelden. Ze zijn krachtig en stellen zich open, al is dat door eerdere ervaringen niet altijd even makkelijk, ze moeten een aantal moeilijke beslissingen nemen en Soraya Lane schrijft met veel liefde over hun beroepen, waardoor ook die onderdelen van het verhaal echt gaan leven. The Italian Daughter is book one in the The Lost Daughters series by Soraya M. Lane. I was fully enthralled with this story and could not put it down. I got this ebook also as an audiobook which was expertly narrated by Zoe Mills. Listening to this book brought both sadness and joy, and the narrator did a fabulous job helping my emotions to ride that roller coaster of all the feels. This wonderful story wrapped up with a wonderful conclusion and now I cannot wait for book two in this series, which I believe will be The Sugar King's Daughter. That second book will also be in dual timeline fashion. Present Day: A winemaker on her quest to unearth a secret buried for years, to find what links her father's side of heritage to Italy. In the vineyard, under the Italian sun, while she learns of her great-grandparents' past, she just might also stumble upon a family and love of her own.

I’m so excited to travel to Cuba in Lane’s next installment in this series. More importantly, YOU need to read this book and discover why Soraya Lane is an auto-read author for me. jumbo shrimp + calamari + clams + mussels + scallops + bacala + tomato saffron brodo + squid ink tonnarelli In this first novel, in present day we meet Lily who is called to a Lawyers office and given a box with a programme from La Scala theatre in Milan and a recipe in it. What connection does this have to a grandmother she didnt realise had been adopted.

Perhaps this is fortuitous, as the contents of the box she found proves that her grandmother may have been Italian.

The best thing about The Italian Daughter is that you could literally throw a dart and the menu and walk away will a belly filled with the best Italian meal you’ll ever have in Metro Phoenix. Some cannot-stop-thinking-about menu items: This is a wonderful novel and it promises to be a lovely series. Both timelines flowed seamlessly and each of them had a wonderful story. Full of love and hope. Nadat ze een geheimzinnig kistje heeft gekregen met een paar oude bezittingen van haar overgrootmoeder van vaders kant, gaat ze op zoek naar haar familie.

Estee from 1945. Lily from present day. In what ways do their lives converge? While Lily's story was one of hope, it was Estee's story that broke my heart into pieces more than once. We find how Estee's relationship with Felix began, flourished and floundered. Along the way we realize how her heart was fully his at a time when he could not offer her the same, although the love he had for her was palpable. It was this book that finally made me understand why certain decisions are made when they come with good and altruistic reasons.
