Book Review: The Road to Moresco

The Road to Moresco by Mark Jamilkowski is a story about Maria-Luisa Moresco. As a woman in the early 1900s, she was ahead of her times and wanted more than the traditional life of motherhood. Unfortunately, her life was not easy, and the reader follows her as she pushes her way forward despite such things as earthquakes, war, and murder.

I only gave this book three stars and here is why. The story and characters were really good. The historical research that went into the novel are also phenomenal. However, Jamilkowski had a difficult time intertwining the story with the history. I often felt like I was reading a great novel interrupted by a strong history lesson.
​
Jamilkowski states he would like to learn more about blending fact with fiction and potentially release a second edition of the book. I hope he does, because the story is a wonderful portrayal of strong women in a time when women were meant to be something else.
