Description

Friendship. Love. Loss. New beginnings.

Find it all at The Three Coins Inn.

It's been four years since Emma, Annarita and Tiffany threw their coins in Rome's Trevi Fountain and cemented a friendship that would change their lives, in more ways than one. Emma has departed Rome for the charming Umbrian village of Todi, where she's busy managing the Three Coins Inn, while Annarita and her husband run the hotel's cooking classes.

A new set of hotel guests descend on the idyllic property, eager to recharge and leave their problems far behind. The last thing ambitious television reporter Madison wants is a two-week respite in sleepy Umbria, but when things fall apart, she may not have a choice in the matter. Heike is mourning her husband's death, and hopes a change in scenery in a country they once both loved will hasten the healing. Chris' surprise holiday for his wife isn't shaping up at all the way he imagined it. And grandmother Grace is enlisted to whisk her granddaughter away from a marriage in crisis.

Will the charm and atmosphere of The Three Coins Inn work its magic on its guests?

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.

Easter at the Three Coins Inn begins with the kind of prologue that transports you immediately. The Italian hilltown setting is drawn so vividly you can almost smell the espresso in the air, hear the murmur of soccer conversations in the piazza, and feel the playful energy of children—both European and foreign—sharing in the simple joys of life. The author’s ability to make this scene come alive was pure artistry, making me picture myself there from the very first page.

As someone preparing for a trip to Italy, I was particularly struck by the setting, which echoes the kind of retreat I’m hoping to experience. The description of the inn, with its inviting charm and sun-dappled ambiance, almost mirrors one of my upcoming stays. By the time I reached Chapter 5, I was completely invested, though I did feel slightly overwhelmed by the number of characters introduced. But even then, the writing was strong enough to keep me hooked, eager to see how each person’s story would unfold.

One of the more thoughtful elements of the book was the storyline around Kathryn, a teenager caught in the complex perceptions of her father, Rupert, who seems almost eager to label her as gender-confused because she loves sports and spends time with boys. I appreciated how the author handled this with care, allowing Kathryn space to be herself without being coerced into a label, reflecting a refreshing perspective on growing up in today’s world. It added depth without feeling heavy-handed, touching on important issues while keeping the story light and reflective.

The charm of the book, for me, lay in its ability to make you feel like you were there, living through the characters' daily adventures. The pace was gentle, unfolding slowly, as if inviting you to linger a little longer with each chapter. I found myself savoring their discoveries, the cozy meals shared at the inn, and the sense of community that grew between the guests. It felt magical, in the way that true vacations often are—unhurried and full of small, meaningful moments.

However, I did feel a slight shift when the romantic subplots began to emerge. While the friendships and shared experiences gave the book its sense of warmth and light, the romance, for me, detracted from the overall coziness. I much preferred the focus on the camaraderie among the characters, their personal reflections, and the quiet, restorative charm of their surroundings.

Still, Easter at the Three Coins Inn was a beautiful, feel-good story. By the end, each character had found a sense of peace, having unburdened themselves of their small struggles and found respite in the company of their lodge-mates. It’s the kind of book that makes you feel as though you’ve taken part in a shared journey, leaving you with the hope that you, too, might discover something magical in your own life. As I prepare for my own trip to Italy, this story has given me a sense of what’s possible—a quiet reminder that sometimes, the greatest adventures are the ones that unfold slowly, in the spaces between.

A delightful trip to Umbria. Sometimes we carry our heaviest baggage in our hearts, and Sullivan's delightful characters unpack their bags and heal in the warmth of Umbria's sunshine. Brava!
