Sunshine, warmth, lemon blossom . . . Springtime in glorious Southern Italy can go to your head. Especially if you are escaping an overbearing husband, the embarrassingly public loss of your company, an interfering mother who still tries to run your life or the pain of a husband's affair with a girl young enough to be his daughter. As the Italian sun ripens the lemons in the groves that tumble down the hillsides and the Mediterranean dazzles beneath them, assertive Angela, extrovert Sylvie, unconfident Claire and mousy Monica find burgeoning friendship and begin to blossom in quite unexpected ways. Packed with memorable characters – from the acid-tongued Grand Old Man of Modern Art who lives next door – to the aspiring gigolo who thinks nothing of a forty year age gap, Maeve Haran's An Italian Holiday is a witty and entertaining reminder of why going a little mad in the sun can sometimes be exactly what you need.

Shortlisted for the RNA's Joan Hessayon Award for New Writers Sun, sea and spaghetti... Italy was Bluebell's dream destination, but taking her granny's place on the Loving and Knitting magazine competition holiday she'd won wasn't quite what she'd had in mind. For one thing she didn't knit and for the other...well being single probably discounted her from the love category too. But a free holiday is a free holiday and it's the perfect escape from her lacklustre life. Michela didn't think she'd be returning home to the Amalfi Coast so soon but a new job at her cousin's restaurant on the harbour of Positano is a dream gig, miles away from the grey London clouds. This time though, she vowed not to fall into old habits, Stefano was the past and now a bright future beckons. But under the Italian skies a whole host of possibilities await and maybe happy-ever-after is just a plane ride away... *** Readers are loving The Italian Holiday!

"After losing the love of her life in a tragic accident, thirty-year-old Gina is struggling. Running her little guesthouse in the hills of the Lake District keeps her going, but her heart isn't in it any more. When new guest, Fabio Garcia, arrives, Gina feels a spark that reminds her she's alive. He's tall, dark but with startling blue eyes, and makes her laugh, for the first time in... forever. Guilt holds her back, but friends, and a glass (or three) of wine, push her into his arms. It's nothing serious, which, Gina realises, is exactly what she needs, so when he invites her to his family's crumbling Italian villa, on the sparkling waters of Lake Como, she says yes. It's hard not to fall for the grand, sandstone Villa Lucia, its faded wallpaper, green shutters, and Fabio, serving fresh coffee in bed. But Gina knows where she belongs, and she's just not ready to explore the hidden depths she discovers in this handsome Italian. Just when Gina thinks she might change her mind, his sister reveals a secret that sends Gina packing. And it's a relief. Because she was right not to open her heart to Fabio, to walk away from him, the villa, the moonlit lake... Wasn't she?" -- Provided by publisher.
