'What a gloriously wonderful read, I loved it.' - Cathy Kelly on The Tea Chest 'A warm-hearted contemporary tale... I just loved the skilful twisting together of romance and suspense, chick-lit and family drama. This is a novel which celebrates family ties, food and the importance of kindness, all things which I passionately believe in.' - Kate Forsyth, author of Bitter Greens 'Food, family, friendship, and love: this is the heart of Three Gold Coins.' - Theresa Smith Writes 'With a robust narrative, an intriguing line of suspense, amiable characters and a scenic stage, Three Gold Coins is a winner on all fronts. It gently reminds us through the arresting narrative, just how important love, loyalty, family, friendship and food is to our way of life.' - Mrs B's Book Reviews 'Moon's authentic, detailed descriptions of the Tuscan countryside and the preparation of food featured in the novel delight the senses. They provide much-needed periods of joy and respite for the reader in an otherwise traumatic journey through years of disrupted lives and loss.' - Brisbanista 'Three Gold Coins is a story of new love, second chances, and la dolce vita.' - High Life Magazine
