The #1 bestseller is back with an uplifting,
escapist read that will brighten the gloomiest day!
A warm, sun-baked terrace.
The rustle of verdant green vines.
The sun slowly dipping behind the
Umbrian mountains.
And the chink of wine glasses as
the first cork of the evening is popped…
Welcome to Italy. A place that
holds the answer to Zia-Lucia Costa Chalmers’ many questions. Not least, how she ended up with such a
mouthful of a name.
When Zia discovers that her mother
wasn’t who she thought she was, she realises the
time has come to search out the Italian family she’s never known.
However, as she delves into the
secrets of her past, she doesn’t bargain on having to think about her future
too. But with local vineyard owner, Piero, living next door, Zia knows she has
a serious distraction who may prove difficult to ignore…
This
summer, join Zia as she sets out to uncover her past. But can she find the
future she’s always dreamed of along the way?
Longing for a glorious, sun filled, action packed holiday?
Annoyed you can’t jet off *easily* at the moment? Well.. let this brilliant
book from Sue Moorcroft beat the holiday blues.
I was hooked from the start and devoured each chapter
quickly. Heavily involved in Zia’s quest to find some answers meant I flew
through this one and loved every moment.
Zia has uncovered family secrets and made discoveries that would
shake anyone to their very core. She is desperate to find the truth and also
figure out if her desire to move to Italy could actually become a reality. When
a bit of digging uncovers links to the town of Montelibertà, Zia and best
friend Ursula take the trip of a lifetime for an extended stay in the hope of
getting answers.
Very soon into her trip Zia uncovers complicated family
secrets, forms wonderful relationships and finds herself attracted to gorgeous Italian
next door, vineyard owner Piero.
Piero and his family are trying to find the best way forward
for their family business so that all are happy and get what they want. Will
Zia’s advice be a help or a hinderance?
Zia and Piero are both headstrong and have been hurt in the
past. There is a great chemistry between the two but it isn’t smooth sailing
for this pair.
With fantastic descriptions, the setting, the food, I felt
right there with Lucia, Zia etc. I’ve never been to Italy but this makes me
long to visit one day. I have such images in my mind thanks to Sue’s writing. Although
at heart this is a gorgeous romance filled story, it touches on some very
serious issues surrounding mental health, manipulation and of loss. The story
explores the depths and importance of friendships, delicate and complicated
families and following your heart, both in romance and in dreams.
A wonderful array of characters (I love Lucia!!), I highly
recommend this book for a slice of escapism.
