This is the book I found in a small Italian bookshop, one of the only books in English. I read this while I was away as it is such easy reading and a great story. Set in Italy about the woman who ran away from her hectic life, back to her best friend in Italy. Of course, she meets a younger man, many women dream about this so I think that is why it is a great book. We can all dream about it being us.
Eventually, as things change back at home and then a message from England has her running back to try to save her family. I loved this emotional story and would recommend it for your next holiday read, especially if in Italy, I cannot wait to go back and discover more wonderful places in this country.
