About this listen

 A mysterious stranger known as The Wolf leaves an infant with the sisters of Santo Spirito. A tiny silver key hidden in her wrappings is the only clue to the child's identity and so begins a story as intriguing and beautiful as the city of Florence itself. Belinda Alexandra's new novel, Tuscan Rose, is set in Italy during the time of Mussolini. This richly woven tale of passion, love, longing, witchcraft and magic promises to be everything her readers love, and more.©2009 Belinda Alexandra.

The story and message are excellent. It makes real the suffering of the italian people both under Mussolini and the occupation. the characters are believable and you grow to love them as the book continues. The only negative is the narrator who has a pronounced Australian accent throughout the reading. Switching occasionally to a very poor Italian accent, then an over pronounced accent when using the names of the characters. I found it very irritating. The narrator should have been an English speaking Italian.

Good story poor narration.

Absorbing, moving and historically fascinating. A book with real heart, that doesn’t shy away from the despicable horrors of war without descending into relentless grimness. Highly recommended.

Thank you Belinda Alexandra for the evocative creation of so many characters of light and shade and a courageous and loving protagonist living in an unimaginably tough time in Italian history both pre and during the Second World War.

Brilliant

Incredibly frustrating actions by the heroine early on that caused my loss of interest the first time I started reading this book. For example “I want A so that I can do B” repeated ad nauseam. Then, when A happens, “Oh, better not do B”. Coming back to it much later, I’ve persisted this time encouraged by the pleasant voice of the narrator who does make it easy to listen to. She speaks clearly with good variation of tone without shouting at some points while causing you to strain to hear what she’s saying at others. It gets better and is worth sticking to as the plot unravels. Just felt that there was a lot of unnecessary and unrealistic ‘tripe’ in the initial stages.

Well narrated story that eventually improves
