FOUR out of FIVE stars
my thoughts:
A baby is anonymously delivered to a convent with a tiny key the only clue to her identity. These are just the beginnings of the mysteries that surround young Rosa Bellocchi. As Rosa grows, she realizes that she psychically senses the origins of things. She touches a piece of furniture and is transported to a hard wood jungle. Or she eats a piece of bread and feels the sun and the wind on the wheat. Or...she senses the pain and fear of the chinchilla's used to make a fur coat. You can imagine what she goes through when she tries to eat meat.
This is just where it begins. Really a great read.
the run down:
A mysterious stranger known as 'The Wolf' leaves an infant with the sisters of Santo Spirito. A tiny silver key hidden in her wrappings is the only clue to the child's identity and so begins a story as intriguing and beautiful as the city of Florence itself. Belinda Alexandra's new novel, TUSCAN ROSE, is set in Italy during the time of Mussolini. This richly woven tale of passion, love, longing, witchcraft and magic promises to be everything her readers love and more.
