The Legacy of Us by Kristin Contino

9/30/2015

​The Legacy of Us by Kristin Contino has all the hallmarks of a story that I love; three generations of women, each telling their own story, with a little bit of a romance and mystery mixed in and getting to travel along with them to their interesting locales.

I enjoyed getting to know the three main characters Liz, her grandmother Ella and her great grandmother Gabriella.  I was concerned at the beginning of the story that it might be confusing to have both Ella and Gabriella, but the writing was so good that I didn't need to worry about that.  I was very impressed with the writing style since this was a debut novel.  Each character was well developed and relatable.  The pacing was excellent and I often was thinking about the main characters even when I wasn't reading the book.  Switching between characters, time and location, didn't prove a problem for the story and I truly loved reading this multi-layered book.

I hope that Ms. Contino has more books waiting and I will be definitely be adding them to my "to-read" list.  

I received this book from BookSparks as part of the FRC2015 in exchange for an honest review.
