There are so many things I loved about Sally Brady but I have to start with Sally herself. Sally is an interesting, compelling center of the story and she completely captivated me. From her difficult beginnings through her talent for gossip to her stunning altruism, she was always worth turning the page for. I very much liked the alternation between her first person narrative and the other stories.The story was frequently funny, even hilarious. When Sally was first arrested, the colloquy with the Italian policeman is so comical. She almost seems to talk him out of arresting her. Her logic and the way she twists him around made me laugh.I am struck by the irony of the title and the cover art. We are led to think early in the book that we have begun on a romantic adventure. The twists and shocks and coming of the war draw us into a different world. I thought that we might be in Sallyâs view of the world. Despite everything she goes through, she pushes on and takes us with her.If you are considering whether to buy this book or not, click “Buy Now.” It is entertaining, interesting, fast-moving, and satisfying. It is my favorite read of the summer of 2023.
I love historical fiction so Sally Bradyâs Italian Adventure was right up my alley. In her sophomore novel Lynch addresses one of the worst times in history with humor and the seriousness it deserves. It is a story of resilience, and determination, showing the lengths desperate people will go to survive. I highly recommended it.
I couldn’t put it down! Chris Lynch has made the characters realistic. She has shown other aspects of WWII. Several characters stated that they had done nothing to stop Mussolini’s rise to power. I appreciate the perspectives of the different characters. The author did a great job creating and building the characters. I don’t usually read books a second time, but this one, I will read again soon.
My favorite genre, historical fiction. What a wild ride through a tough period in history. I thought she was toast several times! I love all the strong female characters who just get it done. Thanks for an adventure!
If you love historical fiction Sally Bradyâs Italian Adventure is for you! Sallyâs misfortune turns into a beautiful adventure with wit , charm and suspense in wartime. Couldnât put it down, and plan to read again to ensure I caught all of Chris Lynchâs entertaining historically accurate story! Great summer reading !
