About this listen

From the author of the Seven Sisters series, Lucinda Riley's The Italian Girl takes you from the back streets of Naples to the world's finest opera houses on a poignant, unforgettable journey of love, betrayal and self-discovery.

Read by Yolanda Kettle (Philippa Gregory's The Queen's Fool)

Nothing sings as sweetly as love, or burns quite like betrayal.

Rosanna Menici is just a girl when she meets Roberto Rossini – the man who will change her life. In the years that follow, their destinies will be bound together – both for their extraordinary talents as opera singers, and by their enduring but obsessive love.

Their love will ultimately affect the lives of all those closest to them. For, as Rosanna slowly discovers, their union is haunted – haunted by irreversible events of the past . . .

Praise for Lucinda Riley:

'A masterclass in beautiful writing' – The Sun

'Captivating . . . poignant yet uplifting' – Woman's Own

'Utterly enchanting . . . Prepared to be intrigued, moved to tears and ultimately uplifted' – Lancashire Evening Post

A version of this story has previously been published under the title Aria, under the name Lucinda Edmonds – now extensively rewritten as The Italian Girl.

I have just finished listening to this wonderful book. It made me cry (twice) something a book has never done before, perhaps I am getting soppy in my old age. Really enjoyed listening, the narrator was clear and was very believable with her accents. Thank you

Beautifully written

I don't often leave reviews as it is all about opinion and I find myself put off by other's opinion.
Purchase the book if you enjoy Lucia's book, you can't go wrong.
And I have say Yolanda the narrator is a very talented lady indeed.
In my opinion the best narrator I have listened to over the past 4 years.
She adds something to her stories, she makes it MORE than just than a narration.

Loved it!

I’ve come to this book after first reading the Seven Sisters series and then The Midnight Rose by Lucinda Riley. I rated those books all 5 stars overall because they were just perfection.
So I’ve had to rate this book a 4 simply because I didn’t enjoy it quite as much as Lucinda’s other works. In saying that I did still enjoy it thoroughly and loved the Opera story line.

Gorgeous story about the Opera

Lovely story really enjoyed it
Should have been narrated by someone with an Italian accent
It was spoilt for me by the English women trying to talk with an Italian accent

Spoilt by English narrator
