These Tangled Vines
By Julianne Maclean
Book review by Josephine Berglund
If Fiona has learned anything in life, it’s how to keep a secret – even from the father who raised her. She is the only person who knows about her late mother’s affair in Tuscany thirty years earlier, and she intends to keep it that way …until a lawyer calls with shocking news: her biological father has died and left her an incredible inheritance – along with two half siblings.
Fiona travels to Italy, where the family is shocked to learn of her existence and desperate to contest her share of the will. While the mystery of her mother’s affair is slowly unraveled, Fiona must navigate through tricky family relationships and tense sibling rivalries.
A dual plot historical romance set deep in the vineyards and culture of Tuscany. The characters are human and relatable. It takes the reader on a journey to explore the true meaning of family through love and sacrifice. Truly heartwarming.
