2007 book 41

Natalie Danford's Inheritance
This novel is about a young American woman whose Italian father dies; while going through his things, she discovers the deed to a house in his hometown. She travels to Italy to learn about her father; meanwhile, his own story is told in alternating chapters. I was pretty "meh" on this book. There's a lot going on in barely 200 pages, and the daughter's romantic interest feels really shoehorned in. Also, I guess the ending was supposed to be a big reveal, but it was ridiculously obvious the whole time. I liked the father's chapters but the daughter didn't have much personality. B-/C+.
