(Their parents died years earlier in Tuscany). ![]() Our story begins when Julie’s beloved Aunt Rose dies, leaving Julie and her twisted sister, Janice orphaned. You’re in for a wild ride-a lush, romantic voyage that will stimulate all of your literary senses. Secondly, my advice-aside from urging you to buy this book before someone else in your book club beats you to it-is to buckle up and hold on with both hands. Not only are you intrepid enough to find this gem of a debut novel, but you are about to embark on a journey to Sienna (not Verona, for you Romeo and Juliet purists out there-don’t feel bad, I was one of them too) with our heroine, Julie Jacobs. Okay, you’re here, on Amazon and by some clever and fortunate happenstance you’ve clicked over to Anne Fortier’s Juliet. ![]() ![]() Jamie Ford is the New York Times Bestselling author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, which was chosen as the #1 Book Club Pick for Fall 2009/Winter 2010 by the American Booksellers Association. ![]()
