Juliet by Anne Fortier

I am behind on my blogging and the details are getting blurry on this book. I do know that I enjoyed listening to it. If you have read Romeo and Juliet I am sure you will get more out of it, but you can still enjoy it. Basic premise of the book - Julie and twin sister Janice were born in Italy. Their parents died when they were young and Aunt Rose came to take them back to the U.S. The two sisters are quite different from one another and don't get along well. They are grown up and living separate lives. When Aunt Rose dies, Julie is shocked to learn that Janice is inheriting the whole estate. And Julie? Well she just gets a passport and a key - and a mystery. The passport is in her real name - who knew?- Giulietta Tolomei. She was a descendant of the family of the "real" Juliet. So off she goes to Italy to try and discover what inheritance she was left.
So in this book you will encounter jealousy between sisters, greed, mysteries (both present and 14th century), love, murder and just maybe.......another Romeo? A fun read.
