A Sicilian Affair Review
Catie is looking to escape her past and memories that threaten to destroy her. In order to find some peace and tranquillity she decides to travel to Taormina in Sicily to relax and take stock of the events that have led her to where she is. In Sicily she knows no-one and can truly begin from scratch.
Soon, she meets Giancarlo who, being from Taormina, offers to be her guide and show her around the town. As their friendship grows and they begin to get closer, Catie starts to believe she might be able to finally let go of the past, leaving the skeletons behind her. As she begins to open up to Giancarlo she must confront everything that happened to her.
A Sicilian Affair is a dual timeline story which sees Catie in real time having just arrived in Sicily and also the events of her past which lead up to where she is today.
I felt for Catie as her past was gradually revealed and longed for her to find happiness after such trauma. I found that whichever timeline I was reading I was completely transported into the story. I was gripped and wanted to find out what happened to Catie. A multi-layered character, Catie’s love of music shines through.
The depictions of Sicily are rich, immersive and very well described.
This is a gorgeous book to get completely lost in.
