One Italian Summer by Rebecca Serle Website: https://gobookmart.com Buy Now: https://amzn.to/3Iv638Y “Rebecca Serle is known for her powerful stories that tug at the heartsrings – and her latest is just as unforgettable.” —Woman's World “An unconventional love story that embraces people’s flaws and selfishness as part of what makes them human.” —Kirkus “Poignant and ultimately uplifting. The mouthwatering descriptions of Katy’s food and the lush Italian coast bring a strong, atmospheric sense of place. Recommend to fans of Helen Fisher’s Faye, Faraway (2021) and those who enjoy being transported to other countries through fiction.” —Booklist “A touching story…the mother-daughter bond is made palpable through Katy’s grief and desire for connection.” —Publishers Weekly "Going down as easy as a limoncello on a hot summer’s day, this daydream of a story affirms what it means to love and be loved. An enchanting book for the last cold days of winter, but also suggest it to readers come summer.” —Library Journal “In these cynical times full of snark and memes, it’s nice to surrender to magic every now and then. Plus, the wanderlust that the book conjures is worth it as is….[A] story about love, loss and that point in adulthood where we learn our parents are human, too, and not always perfect.” —Associated Press
