About this listen
A gorgeous, sun-filled novel following one woman's journey from heartbreak to adventure, for fans of Santa Montefiore. An irresistible listen that will transport you straight to Tuscany....
Emily looks like she has it all.
Living the dream.
There's the lovingly restored Tuscan farmhouse, the three beautiful children, the successful husband, the newspaper column detailing her glamorous expat life. But when Emily's husband dumps her by text message, she has to face up to some stark home truths.
The nightmare reality.
She has no money, her cleaner hates her, her eldest girl is out of her depth with the local seducer, her middle daughter is dangerously underweight and her darling baby is fast becoming a brat. She doesn't even have any Italian friends.
But there's hope.
Even as Emily admits that she's not living the Tuscan dream, she finds herself drawn into the village of Monte Albano and discovers the genuine Italy, darker and more intriguing than she had ever imagined. If she can get over a lingering obsession with her youthful first love, an attractive stranger might be about to show her the time of her life....

Definitely thought provoking
I've enjoyed this author writing as Elly Griffiths, but think this story line was even better as she clearly knows about life as an Italian living in Tuscany. it's deeper and more multifaceted than I was expecting. I was looking for something light to read on holiday, but found this intriguing and thought provoking. I will be reading all the books in this series.

excellent storytelling
I have enjoyed the authors crime series written under her pseudonym Elly Griffiths, and wasn’t disappointed, Tuscany was brought to life by her talented storytelling. The performance Elaine Claxton was excellent so well read.

As good as the Ruth Galloway books
Humourous, and beautifully descriptive of both Italy and the characters in the book.
Lovely listening, can’t say more really!!

fantastic De Rosa ..
engaging storyline as always but the character description and development is superb. the authors ability to unexpectedly intersperse humour is again a delight and her observance of the human condition, insightful. altogether a great read
