Summary
When Elizabeth drops her beloved only daughter off at college, she holds back the tears…fighting her worries about an empty nest with the thought of all the adventures that she and her husband Joel can now enjoy together. But as soon as they sit down to eat dinner that evening, Joel drops a bombshell. He wants a break.
Searching for an escape, Elizabeth discovers an apartment in Rome that is only available for three months rental to ‘an English woman of a certain age’. She reads on to find out the philosophy of Veronica, the 75-year-old owner, is that there is always joy to be found, however difficult the circumstances, and that it is an insult to the gift of life to not live it joyfully and fully – and that there is no better place to make this happen than Rome, the most beautiful city in the world.
Elizabeth accepts the challenge, and on arrival, finds that Veronica has a numbered list of challenges for her.

Fantastic story
I liked the honesty in this book. Particularly about the main character and her feelings. And the Rome theme made it even better. Really enjoyable.

Lovely story
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. The descriptions of Rome were delightful - I've never been and am even more determined to visit since listening to this book.
It's so easy to see how women allow themselves to be swayed by the needs of others and feel guilty for indulging their own interests and passions. But this tale of a woman who slowly blossoms into herself is lovely to witness.
I look forward to reading the sequel.

Such an enjoyable book
I love the way the book explains places in Italy and love the story lime .
A woman who was brave enough to go to Italy when her marriage fails to expore nicer things, rather than sitting at home devastated.

Relatable and hopeful story
So many people will understand the characters and relate to being a mother, a wife and then learning to be yourself again. Italy was the best back drop and Rome intrigued me to listen to this book.
I am researching a move to Italy!
I love Kerry 's writing and already looking for her next book to listen to. I highly recommend the Rome Apartment to mums of daughters too. It resonated with me, thank you Kerry x

A wonderful story not to be missed
What an amazing audio book ! An experience not to be missed. You really feel that you are truly wandering Rome with a friend and seeing the sights with both your eyes and heart ! Exceptionally well narrated, a truly beautiful voice.

A brilliant enjoyable book
Wow, I have listened to this audio book in a few days and wish I could keep on listening to it. I will definitely play it again as I loved the feel and humour and I want to jet off to Rome immediately even though I have been there.
I have listened or read every book Kerry has written and love them all. I can hardly wait for the next one.
