Summary
A story about love, family secrets and a little piece of heaven....
In the beautiful village of Vernazza, the Mazzone family have transformed an old convent overlooking the glamorous Italian Riviera into the elegant Lemon Tree Hotel. For Chiara, her daughter, Elene, and her granddaughter, Isabella, the running of their hotel is the driving force in their lives.
One day, two unexpected guests check in. The first, Dante, is a face from Chiara's past, but what exactly happened between them all those years ago, Elene wonders. Meanwhile, Isabella is preoccupied with the second guest, a mysterious young man who seems to know a lot about the history of the old convent and the people who live there. Isabella is determined to find out his true intentions and discover the secret past of the Lemon Tree Hotel.

Wonderful story! Loved every minute!
I imagined that I was there in beautiful Italy! Wonderfully detailed descriptions of the scenery- it made a dull day in Devon turn into a warm & balmy one in sunny Italy! The characters were well written & believable. Loved how the characters lives were linked & developed. A beautiful story that makes you laugh, dream, reminisce & cry. Feel bereft now it’s finished!! Just downloaded another of Rosanna’s books. Narrator was absolutely brilliant!

21st century Mills and Boon
I chose this book because it is set on the Ligurian Riviera. It is shallow, predictable and sickly. As soon as I started it, I wished I’d researched it more before purchasing. 15 hours of mills and boon. Oh well. Live and learn.

Long and tedious
I really should have returned this book. But i kept waiting for something to happen and then hours in i realised it was just going to plod on to its conclusion. The story was weak and involved mainly people repeating themselves about whether to embrace love or not. The most happened in the last half an hour of the book. I suppose you could be kind and say it’s a gentle story - but for me - I need more of a story to get my teeth into. Oh I wish I had returned it!!!!

A winner
Loved the story and the narration was excellent. Descriptions of the locality made you feel you were part of the scenery. Plus the recipes being prepared were mouthwatering. Little more to say!

Eat pasta while you listen for an authentic taste
This story took a lot of listening to get any momentum. I’m realising to write a compelling, engaging tale is incredibly difficult. It got there in the end . Quirky food critics descriptions dotted everywhere making it very Italian comic cook book , irritating repetitive re enforcing of story line that was most unnecessary . Needs editing. The ending was most interesting and real!

The Lemon Tree Hotel
What a wonderful story. From the beginning to the end, and what an ending, I could not put it down. I really felt that I was there in that beautiful place. I recommend anyone who listens to this book will be moved by the lives of the family with the problems they have to face. I must mention the food being prepared for the guests staying in the hotel - delicious! Thank you for writing about this beautiful area of Italy and the narrator was excellent.

Transports you to a wonderful place
A little slow to start with but really enjoyed this book. A nice easy listen.
Narrated well by Lucy Price Lewis. Perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon with a glass of wine

How could anyone not love this story...
I saw this on a 2 for 1 deal. Never heard of the author before, but I'm so glad I listened to it. it has to be in my top 3 books EVER. The narrator was also excellent. From start to finish it kept me engaged and wanting to listen to it every spare moment. The description of the people, their lives, the hotel, its surroundings, the recipes, everything, made me want to visit this magical place. It would make an excellent film.
