Set upon a quest to find her roots on behalf of her late father, Anna finds herself on the Italian Island of Galatea. Mystery and mystique become, at first, a surprizing and somewhat scary aura surrounding her but later, she welcomes the episodes of visions which reveal what she wishes to know. In this unfolding ancestory tale of her father's immediate connections, Anna meets Mira, Mimi, Lupo and others, eventually discovering who had been her real grandmother.
The culture of the sea and the romances that bloomed, are intertwined in the lives of the Islanders flavoring the tale and keeping the reader following with great interest. The events are staged as WWII stretches its dark shadows, even to this innocuous looking island. I have been astonished and stunned at the grips of fear, the twists and turns, discovering, along with Anna, the astonishing revelation.
I enjoyed the story and believe other readers of Historical Fiction and Romance will not be disappointed. The story has plot, interesting cultural reveals, as the past and present hitch themselves together.
