Even though she has a formula of widowed or single women coming up against powerful historical figures in various locations in Italy I have enjoyed how she weaves historical events together. The Madonna of the Almonds heroine devised a clever solution to being a widow in Seventeenth Century Saranno, Italy by using her dead husband's almond trees, with the help of an outsider, to make a delightful and popular to this day beverage, and survive hardships. There are subplots that enrich the story and intrigue the reader leading us to find out how she will survive? Historical and powerful families like the Sforzas, the Medicis and others are introduced with historical accuracy and not just speculation. Those of us who are knowledgeable of Italian and European history will also appreciate the research that is done for each of her novels. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like almonds, Bitter Sweet *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2014* A true depiction of life in the renaissance ...cruel and unjust hardships for many.. Fiorato has the capacity to bring to life a scene and moreover feeling through her use of words. At times I felt if I walked out the door, I would be in the midst of Italy at the time of Leonardo Da Vinci or his prodigy Luini, in this case. The story moved along but in some cases a bit too predictable. Her books, nonetheless are page turners and as I turn the last page, I feel as I have lived in Renaissance Italy, if only for a short time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Because I love Italy... *by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2014* Even though most of the story was fictional, I did love the factual parts of the artists and paintings. There were a lot of characters to keep track of but, the stories all came around to a beautiful ending. I do like books that go back and forth between stories as it keeps me reading to find out what is happening in the other setting. This was very true here as I had real feelings for these characters. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/66516753-madonna-of-the-almonds](https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/66516753-madonna-of-the-almonds) --- *Product available on Desertcart Brazil* *Store origin: BR* *Last updated: 2026-10-07*
