A Funeral in Fiesole Rosanne Dingli

Paola ... Brod ... Suzanna ... Nigel ...
It's their mother's funeral outside Florence, where they reunite at their childhood holiday home.
So many conflicting memories were created in that beautiful but crumbling villa.
They bring light suitcases, and hearts heavy not only with grief, but also with small mysteries from childhood.
All in their fifties now, with particular varieties of experiences, they remember growing up in those hills.
Youthful memories rarely match; the four recall their mother very differently.
The inheritance they hope for is bound up in Nina Larkin's will.
The only thing they agree about is its mystery. What's in it for each of them?A Funeral in Fiesole is told in turn by each of the brothers and sisters. Youthful dreams are revealed, together with hope for the future. Their family problems - which might be solved by Nina's will - threaten to make something simple rather complicated. A baby-boomer story - how different is it to yours?
