Location(s): Baiardo

Genre(s): Novella, Romance

Location

Content

Juliet Carlsen is taking some much needed time out in the tiny northern Italian village of Baiardo, home to an arts school. Sunshine, serenity and general sense of ‘dolce vita’ weave their magic. The attentions of a local architect named Luca don’t hurt either.

Juliet begins to notice little cracks appearing in the smooth surface of village life: sly looks, gossip with a nasty edge and off-colour comments. When her ex-fiance, a property developer, arrives with plans for both Juliet and Baiardo she finds herself at the centre of a drama which could destroy the fabric of a place she has come to love.

Luca turns his back on Juliet. To the dismay of the villagers, the school is to be sold to make way for holiday homes.
