Secret of Villa Serena

From Elly Griffiths, bestselling crime author, writing as Domenica de Rosa, comes a heartfelt, witty story of one woman's journey from heartbreak to adventure, full of gorgeous Italian flavour. Emily Robertson looks like the woman who has it all: the lovingly restored Tuscan farmhouse, the three beautiful children, the successful, attentive husband. But when her husband dumps her by text, she has to face up to some stark home truths. 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 friendsEven 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...************************What readers are saying about The Secret of Villa Serena'Wonderful . . . it will take you to Tuscany' 5* Reader Review'Couldn't put it down' 5* Reader Review'A brilliant read' 5* Reader Review'Romance, comedy . . . brilliant, it has it all' 5* Reader Review'A lovely book to get lost in' 5* Reader Review
