The Amalfi Curse by Sarah Penner

 


Such a gorgeous cover!!!!  The story inside is a good one - great beach read and of course, the setting is to die for.  Pun not intended....

There is a bit of a love story here, a bit of historical fantasy, and a mystery which includes sunken treasure and volcanoes and strega, and why a nautical archeologist comes to Positano in the first place.  This is a dual timeline novel going back to the days when pirates could never quite make it into the port, and women spoke to the sea to save their people.  There is a pretty good twist with how that plot line connects to the archeologist that is not a usual one.  Not exactly a book club book but a pleasant read for sure!  Now I want to go back to Italy......
