4 Stars

The cover and the blurb of the book got my attention, and despite the page count (400 pages), I requested an ARC. The Tuscan House is a story set during WW II in Italy. We have Richard, a Quaker pacifist, an Inglese (from England), Fosca, and her young son, Giampiero, and many other characters who play different roles in the book.
The story deals with the backstories of Richard, Fosca, and Simonetta- three different people with different backgrounds, ideas, and approaches, and connected across time to each other.
Overall, this is a bittersweet book and will make a good choice for those who like stories set in the countryside with enough importance given to human emotions. Oh, yes, it’s got food and wine too (after all, we are in Tuscany).
I received an ARC from NetGalley and Bookouture and am voluntarily leaving a review.
