Beschreibung

Elizabeth Fane is on the cusp of 50, but instead of celebrating with her family, she is on a plane to Italy alone, leaving behind her husband, three adult sons, and the profound rift between them.

In Italy Liz plans to prune olive trees at a convent, explore the city of Florence, and visit its ancient cathedrals. There she meets four women—five if you count the large painting of the Virgin Mary—with whom she converses regularly. While at first these conversations with the painting are ironic (and are always one-sided), eventually they turn to become another way for Liz to consider the rift between her and her family. Liz gradually reveals why she left home and sorts out what it will take for her to return. Renaissance is a story about a woman of a certain age — a novel about the end of motherhood as Liz steps out of longstanding domestic roles to find her own place in the world.

    🍵 Tea shop owner Hazel Grey is hosting the annual Maple Glen Tea Festival, showcasing her award-winning blends to the town's most discerning tea connoisseurs. But the festivities turn fatal when the festival's head judge—a notoriously harsh tea critic—collapses after sampling Hazel's signature Darjeeling blend. With the police focused on her kitchen and her business on the line, Hazel must steep herself in an investigation that reveals more than just tea leaves. Assisted by her quirky tea-blending grandmother and the handsome local coffee shop owner (her friendly rival), Hazel discovers that the victim had steeped in controversy for years. From sabotaged tea shipments to forged tea estate certificates, every clue points to a conspiracy brewing beneath the town's peaceful surface. But when Hazel finds a mysterious tea leaf pattern left at the crime scene—a secret code used by elite tea masters—she realizes the killer is someone with deep tea knowledge. Now she must strain through the suspects before her own time runs out and she becomes the next victim of a toxic brew.
