Easter At The Three Coins Inn

What a beautiful concept! I love the lore of the Trevi fountain and I can’t wait to share this tale with readers as new guests of the 3 coins find their happy ending as well’

Loved this book. Emma and Mark have opened the Three Coins Inn in Umbria. The new guests have nothing in common but they start to become friends. Heike from Vienna has just recently lost her husband, Grace who's with her granddaughter as things aren't going will with her daughter and husband, Chris who's marriage and business has just imploded and Madison who found out her relationship was based on a lie. The descriptions of the countryside were fantastic made you think you were there.

This is a book about random collisions that bring disparate groups of people together and the natural outcomes of balanced chemistry between them, their circumstances, and the place. We are introduced to a series of individuals spread out in the western Europe and the US at the beginning of the book, each experiencing a life event disruptive enough to bring them to a B&B in central Italy. The hosts' efforts to make the B&B a familial experience, the guests' willingness to be vulnerable, and the events all act as catalysts in the ensuing chemistry. The characters are mostly women, and the select male characters express enough vulnerability to complement their mindset. The book moves through the story quickly, complementing slower sections of the story with action that provides the necessary push. There are a handful of interactions that appear rushed or forced but don't distract from the story.

In the author's own acknowledgement and epilogue, this story follows one from a few years ago and has morphed into a series. This book ends with sufficiently unresolved threads without leaving the reader with a cliffhanger. The pace and vibe is appropriate to encourage patience for the rest of the story. Good escapist fiction that could just as easily become Under the Tuscan Sun as a Hallmark Movie.

Easter At The Three Coins Inn was a treat to read. I rarely embrace multi-viewpoint novels, but this was delightfully different. It was as if I was on vacation, sitting in the lobby of the Three Coins Inn and witnessing the interactions between the guests as they vacationed and worked through life transitions. I read this book in two days and was sad when it ended. Hopefully, the author will continue this series.

I had not read the first book but I loved it. Will read the first one now. A great story set mainly in Italy. You follow the guests who come to the Inn, they all have secrets and stories . The book just held you and a lovely neat ending. Loved it

Easter at the Three Coins Inn was a great women’s fiction novel about hope and friendship and set in a beautiful setting, it was a winner.
