About this ebook
In 1953, Francesca is preparing to marry into a wealthy New York family when a magazine photograph changes everything: Villa Aria, the Tuscan home where she spent her childhood, has been sold—and its legendary gardens are about to be destroyed. Breaking off her engagement, Francesca returns to Italy determined to save the place that still holds the memory of her father, the woman who raised her, and a life shattered by war. But Villa Aria is rooted in secrets. As Francesca follows a trail of whispered accusations, hidden love, wartime sacrifice, and a death blamed on the wrong woman, she discovers that the roses have preserved more than memories—they have preserved the truth. Atmospheric, emotional, and rich with mystery, Roses Had Receipts is a sweeping dual-timeline novel about buried identities, dangerous jealousy, lost love, and the courage to reclaim the life that was always meant to be yours.
