The Amalfi Curse
By Sarah Penner
Review by Sophie
Sunny Italy, scuba diving, shipwreck exploring, ancient curses…sounds like your typical holiday right? I was in a reading slump when I picked this one up, and I ended up chewing through it in a week. Fast-paced with dual timelines and multiple points of view, we are taken to the seaside village of Positano on the Amalfi Coast where life through the centuries has been both as idyllic and tumultuous as the seas around them. The stakes are high with pirates and sea witches pitted against each other in one timeline while in the other, treasure hunters are racing to be the first to make the discovery of a lifetime. And though centuries apart, they are connected by the ageless waters that hold history better than memory…
For those feeling like a light mystery with a little mythological flavour or for those that love the sea…
