***It Happened In Tuscany takes readers on a trip to Italy as Will, a WWII vet and his neighbor Sophie search for the girl who had saved Will’s life some seventy-five years ago. The one letter he’d received from Francesco after the war showed her holding a baby she’d said was his. The search introduces readers to the history, the smells, the food, the wine, and the sights of Italy as the American pair encounter one dead end after another. There are surprises along the way, however, that might bring changes to more than one character. Overall this was a nice story, but this reader often felt bogged down by all the details that had little to do with Will’s search. Readers who enjoy travelogues should relish the book, however, it wasn’t the WWII story I hoped it would be. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book from NetGalley.
