Under Almond Blossoms

All stories are journeys. Some in to the past and some into the future. This story of Milla and her mother Sarah is both. Milla must look into her past to find her future.

Milla has inherited a shop in Mallorca from her grandmother who she thought had been dead all her life. This betrayal by her mother, prompts her to go to Mallorca days before her wedding to Paul, She meets Leandro and his girlfriend Diana, next door to her grandmother's gift shop, and very keen on buying the shop from her.

She decides to stay and find out what had happened in the past to result in estrangement of mother and daughter across two generations. She is sure that the unraveling of her grandmother's life's mystery will also explain the distance between Milla and her own mother.

Its a love story and a self discovery. A journey where women discover their own strength and their truth. I enjoyed reading this book even though there had been some predictability to the eventual turn of events.

I read this book as an ARC thanks to Netgalley.
