Described as “Bridget Jones’s Diary” meets “Under The Tuscan Sun”, Kathrin Murphy’s debut novel is a book that weaves together a tale of foreign romance, family drama and wanderlust.
Less than a year from the dreaded 4-0 and rarely getting beyond a first
date -let alone first base- born and bred New Yorker, foodie and wine-loving Adriana Cassidy is divorced and stuck in a dead-end job. Major panic is setting in at the prospect of being single forever and the thought that nothing good will ever happen to her again.
When a mysterious letter arrives summoning her to Italy she defies her mother’s wishes to never set foot in the country of her ancestors under threat of never being spoken to again.
But Adriana is determined to uncover the deep, dark family secret and in the process falls under the spell of Tuscany and the charm of two devastatingly handsome men – the dashing and carefree Alessandro and the worldly and erudite Paolo. When her ex-husband unexpectedly makes a reappearance in her life, Adriana finds herself at a crossroads and must decide whether to continue living life on the safe side or make a drastic change that will for always alter the course of her life.
Will moving to Italy to run and inn and cooking school and falling in love be a recipe for disaster, or will it be just the right ingredients for the adventure of a lifetime?
