Bestselling author Jo Piazza chats with Zibby about The SICILIAN INHERITANCE, an utterly immersive, multigenerational mystery about a long-awaited trip to Sicily, a disputed inheritance, and a family secret that some will kill to protect. Jo talks about the real-life murder of her great-great-grandmother, Lorenza Marsala, which inspired this story, and then delves into her meticulous research process, from unraveling family secrets to immersing herself in Sicilian culture. She also talks about the evolution of her writing, what it’s been like to navigate motherhood, ambition, and the shifting landscape of publishing, and what she’s working on next (hint: retreat in Sicily).Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3VFw3ZFShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Follow @totallybookedwithzibby on Instagram for listening guides and more. **(Music by Morning Moon Music.
