Summary
Gracie Burton is a grandmother living quietly in Devon. She has rarely left the village over the past 40 years. Her daughter, Carina, is immensely high-powered, with her own fast-paced business in London. She has very little time for her 17-year-old daughter, Anastasia, away at boarding school, and even less time for her ageing mother. In many ways, the three of them barely know each other.
Then Gracie stumbles upon an advertisement for a weeklong cookery course in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. She cannot resist and ploughs her life savings into the trip. Carina and Anastasia accompany her. They have no idea why Gracie has been drawn to this venture. They have no sense of her past; she has never spoken about it. They have no idea that Gracie is harbouring the secret of an extraordinary life that preceded them....

Brilliant from start to finish!
I always enjoy reading Santa Montefiore books and this is no exception!Story is full of plot and interest and found the time lapse of stories blended beautifully. Also loved the added comic touch with the character of Flappy too!
Rachel Adkins has to be the best narrator of stories by far ... fabulous timing , accents and emphasis- brilliant from start to finish!
Highly recommended !

Slow to start
But bear with it. A romantic story that I enjoyed very much. Giving a rather fanciful picture of Italy.

Wonderful with the temptation to keep listening
I loved this story, the narrative is super and the story a joy. I felt that I was also in Italy with the lovely descriptions of the birdsong and rolling green hills. It was fun, witty and romantic. Perfect for lifting the spirits.
