Allie hopes that the beautiful island of Ischia, just off the coast of Naples, could answer questions that have plagued her about her mother since childhood.

Drawn into the welcoming and remarkable community, Allie realises that memories of the blazing, fateful summer of 1979 haven't faded. And as clues to a decades-old mystery slowly rise to the surface, can Allie discover what really happened that summer in Ischia...?

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was an enjoyable piece of easy reading. Less than a day to read, interesting cast of characters, nice locations, a story with some depth to it and I'd certainly pick up another book by Feeny in future. But there were parts where I felt the book could have been much better. The characters seemed half heartedly realised at times and some things that ought to have been totally shocking were more or less skated over. And I felt like the book didn't quite know how to end. On the whole though it was a good read and a good story.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I'm not sure why I bothered with this. Plausible characters and a well-constructed plot were conspicuous by their paucity!
