Italy, 1943. A castle once full of love and laughter is left in ruins by the Nazis, as three sisters are torn apart by one terrible mistake... New York, present day. Broken by the loss of her beloved grandmother Annalisa, who raised her all alone, Mia is shocked when she finds an old letter sent from Italy in her belongings. Annalisa never told Mia about the magnificent, vine-covered castle on Isola di Parissi where she spent one long summer under the Italian stars. Or that she was accused of something terrible in the darkest days of World War Two... Arriving on the stunning Italian coast just a boat ride away from Parissi, Mia is devastated to find the island closed to visitors. Desperate to find out what her grandmother was hiding, she finds dark and brooding local guide Leo, who promises to help her sneak in. As they explore the crumbling castle surrounded by lush olive groves, Mia begins to fall in love with passionate Leo and the beautiful country he calls home. And soon they find handwritten notes hidden in the walls, which confirm her grandmother's heartbreaking story. Annalisa arrived on the island with her two sisters but was forced to abandon them when the Nazis invaded. Mia soon realizes that the accusation against Annalisa might be true, and that Leo has his own reasons for wanting to dig up her family's past. The terrible mistake Annalisa made tore apart the island community. Will it force Mia to leave Leo, and Italy, forever? An epic, heart-wrenching tale based on the incredible true story of an island at war. Fans of Lucinda Riley, Fiona Valpy and Victoria Hislop will be utterly gripped.

After London born university student Sarah Stevenson returns from an enjoyable holiday in hot, sunny Crete, with Tony Hamilton, her Anglo-American student boyfriend, she seriously considers upping sticks and moving there. However, it is a further three years until they can afford another holiday and that happens after Sarah becomes a geography teacher in a middle school, and Tony qualifies as a neuroscientist; There second holiday together, this time to a beautiful but failing Italian island, is to change the course of both their young lives. And it begins when Sarah hears from the mayor that the island will be a 'ghost' island within ten years because its population is diminishing rapidly that she resigns from her teaching job to help save it. Despite a group of inhospitable locals on her back, who protest vigorously when she tells them she intends selling hundreds of abandoned properties to foreigners for the token price of one euro per dwelling, and importing migrant labour to do the restoration work, she eventually wins through.

My darling girl, don't make the same mistakes as I did. Now that my life is coming to an end, take your grandmother's bracelet, unlock the secret of our family history, and discover who you are... As the hazy sun sets on golden sand, twenty-year-old Annie arrives on the stunning Sicilian island of Galatea, her father's final wish playing heavy on her heart: she must solve the mystery of her grandmother who disappeared during World War Two. Her only clues are the delicate gold band around her wrist and directions to Villa Onda - House of the Waves - where her grandmother once lived. As she climbs the winding road up to the cliffside villa, Annie's path collides with handsome local fisherman, Salvo. His sea-blue eyes sparkle with recognition at her bracelet, and Annie can't tell if it's his warm touch or the sun-kissed villa's vine-covered splendour that takes her breath away. Swept into the warm arms of Salvo's family, it's not long before she finds herself dancing the night away in the cobbled piazza and finally beginning to heal. But one afternoon she finds an antique gramophone hidden beneath a dusty sheet in her grandmother's bedroom. Setting the needle, she unlocks a long-buried secret... And, through Salvo's mother, starts to unravel the truth about the bracelet and her grandmother's heart-shattering wartime sacrifice. With Salvo's first kiss lingering on her lips, Annie knows she must dig deeper into the scars that haunt this beautiful island. But can her fragile new-found love with Salvo survive uncovering the truth? Will she ever be able to move on with her life until she does? An absolutely heart-wrenching page-turner about how the catastrophic consequences of war can echo through generations, and the power that true love has to save us all.

For Penny and her Italian love Alfonso, the idyllic island of Procida can offer the life they are looking for. But first Penny has to find a way into its small community.

One of Italy's best-known writers takes a Grand Tour through her cities, history, and literature in search of the true character of this contradictory nation. There is Michelangelo, but also the mafia. Pavarotti, but also Berlusconi. The debonair Milanese, but also the infamous captain of the Costa Concordia cruise ship. This is Italy, admired and reviled, a country that has guarded her secrets and confounded outsiders. Now, when this "Italian paradox" is more evident than ever, cultural authority Corrado Augias poses the puzzling questions: how did it get this way? How can this peninsula be simultaneously the home of geniuses and criminals, the cradle of beauty and the butt of jokes? An instant #1 bestseller in Italy, Augias's latest sets out to rediscover the story-different from the history-of this country. Beginning with how Italy is seen from the outside and from the inside, he weaves a geo-historical narrative, passing through principal cities and rereading the classics and the biographies of the people that have, for better or worse, made Italians who they are. From the gloomy atmosphere of Cagliostro's Palermo to the elegant court of Maria Luigia in Parma, from the ghetto of Venice to the heroic Neapolitan uprising against the Nazis, Augias sheds light on the Italian character, explaining it to outsiders and to Italians themselves. The result is a "novel of a nation," whose protagonists are both the figures we know from history and literature and characters long hidden between the cracks of historical narrative and memory.

Be swept away to Italy with this delightfully heartwarming collection, Italian Dreams. Includes four stunning romance novels from T.A. Williams; Dreaming of Venice, Dreaming of Florence, Dreaming of Rome and Dreaming of Verona. Dreaming of Venice: Life is tough for Penny. A dead end job in a London cafe, a boyfriend in Australia (what could go wrong?) and an art career going nowhere. But then Penny is approached with an extraordinary proposition. It isn’t going to be easy but, if she can pull it off, she will turn her life around and at long last see the fulfilment of her dream – to visit Venice. And, just maybe, find true happiness with the handsome man of her dreams. But can dreams really come true? Dreaming of Florence: When Debbie Waterson’s bicycle crashes into handsome doctor Pierluigi, she wonders if her luck has changed. Determinedly single after ending a long relationship, at last, a man worth bumping into! Inspired to visit Florence, she soon runs headlong into that old foe: reality. Is Pierluigi the man of her dreams? Then there’s her booze obsessed boss, his forbidding secretary and her noisy inconsiderate neighbours. But could her luck be about to change? Will she find love after all? Dreaming of Rome: Jo has had enough of handsome men. After a painful break-up, she’s decided she doesn’t believe in love. While on a work trip to the magical city of Rome, she meets Corrado, a scientist and her brother-in-law to be, who doesn’t believe in love either. To him, it’s just a biochemical reaction. So what’s the problem? Well, he’s gorgeous for a start, as well as charming, generous, intelligent and attentive, and she feels herself immediately falling for him, despite her new outlook. The majesty of the Eternal City brings them ever closer together. But is their relationship doomed, or will love conquer all? Dreaming of Verona: When Suzie is hired to accompany spoiled, abrasive Lady Alexandra Tedburn on an all-expenses-paid holiday to Italy, she fears the trip will be a disaster. But she soon discovers there’s more to Alex than shopping and tantrums, and she’s determined to help her realise her potential – against Alex’s authoritarian father’s wishes. As they settle in Verona, Suzie can’t stop thinking about local artist Michael, who is still mourning the tragic death of his wife. With Suzie’s future uncertain, and Michael’s past holding him back, it seems there’s no hope for romance in the city of star-crossed lovers... or is there? Gorgeously uplifting and moving, the Italian Dreams collection is perfect for fans of Jenny Oliver, Holly Martin and Tilly Tennant. Praise for T. A.
