The Sicilian Woman's Daughter

Retirement in a smart part of London has been good to Mary and she's long since made peace with her traumatic Italian past - but it seems that Sicily is not yet quite done with her.

When trouble finds Mary's family, she's forced back to visit the village in Sicily - and the demons that live there - in a bid to help her scheming aunt who cooks up revenge alongside her lasagnas and éclairs.

As Mary stares her background in the face, she confronts uncomfortable truths about her present as well as the life that she thought she had avoided among the lemon groves and abuse. Re-examining her life, Mary realizes that fixing the part of her that was broken is the only way to find peace.

Linda Lo Scuro expertly weaves intrigue with imagery in this poignant tale of family, friendships and old mafia ties. Filled with love, laughter and devilry, this stunning novel is hard - if not impossible - to put down.

What the reviewers say

“An extraordinary and inherently riveting read from beginning to end, The Sicilian Woman's Daughter is an original and deftly crafted novel showcasing the genuine flair for narrative storytelling by author Linda Lo Scuro (a pen name)... highly recommended for community library Contemporary General Fiction collections.” - Midwest Book Review

“I have always considered women to be the 'power behind the throne'... and this book proves it to be true. It was fascinating to read about how different her lives were depending on where she was or who she was that day. This is an addictive read from page one to last and thoroughly enjoyable. Great book!” - Librarian, Canada
