Meg Pomeroy’s grandmother promised that one day she would take her to Florence, Italy. But her death leaves the trip on the shoulders of Meg’s father, whose divorce from her mother has led to a strained relationship with Meg. Still, when Meg is 30, her father tells her to go ahead and book the trip. When Meg arrives in Florence, her father isn’t there. Instead, he has left instructions for would-be memoir writer Sofia Borelli to show Meg the sites. For her part, Sofia claims to be the last surviving member of the Medici family. She also claims that Nora Orsini, a Medici princess, communicates with her through paintings.
VERDICT Meissner (A Sound Among the Trees) effectively weaves the stories of the three women together for a compelling tale that is both descriptive and emotional. Recommend it to fans of Melanie Dobson.
