Wendy Robey,
This is a beautiful story of the love between sisters and friendship with a little romance thrown in。 I really enjoyed getting to know about Sophie and Rachel as we spent time with them at their inherited castle。 The history between the sisters so interesting and emotional。 Italy was vividly described and sounded so brass we explored with the girls and their new found friends。
