In a nutshell: teenage love, romance and more in beautiful Italy
Lina’s mum is dying, and she has one wish for her daughter: to go to Florence and spend a year with someone called Howard, a man Lina has never met but who her mum describes as, ‘the best man I’ve ever known’. When she gets to Italy there are more surprises for Lina, the fact that Howard’s home is in a graveyard (a WWII cemetery), the fact that her mum also arranged for her old journals to be sent out to Lina. As the months pass, Lina learns not just to love Italy and its people (the gorgeous Lorenzo in particular), but the truth about her own beginnings and her mother’s life. By turns funny, tender and truthful, there’s a great deal to enjoy in this quirky novel and it will leave everyone longing to get on a flight for Italy. ~ Andrea Reece
