About this listen
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....

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.

Summer listening
I couldn't stop listening to this book and Santa Montefiore is a gifted story teller who weaves her love of the Tuscany landscape into her book. I felt I knew the characters and the book deserves a sequel

Delightful
A beautiful emotional journey. I enjoyed this story which speaks to all ages. Romance and an escape from the every day. It’s dreamy, sad, joyful and funny in parts. I will definitely be buying more from this author.

Wonderful storytelling as always
As always Santa Montefiore’s novels transport me into the story itself. Beautiful story and very well written didn’t really want it to end.
