Summary

The International No.1 Bestseller

Her summer escape will awaken the past

In the Golden Age of Hollywood, Kelly Sinclair is on the cusp of becoming the next big movie star. Until then, she’s spending the summer of 1953 on the magical island of Capri…

Sixty years later, on a visit to her elderly grandmother’s cottage, photographer Maddie Williams unearths a box of old film memorabilia featuring a glamorous and beautiful young woman with platinum blonde hair. She also finds a postcard from the island of Capri, detailing the heart-breaking end of a passionate love affair.

Her grandmother now has trouble remembering anything from all those years ago. So when Maddie is commissioned for a photoshoot in Italy, she visits Capri to see if she can find out the truth. Can she unravel the mystery and discover what really happened in the summer of 1953, and will her magical island escape hold some surprises for Maddie, too?

Italian pronunciation needs work!

The story is lovely, however the Italian pronunciation does need work. Unfortunately what was read out in Italian wasn't accurate and lacked authenticity.

so atmospheric

Alex Brown describes the intricacies of secrets and emotions very well. Set against clearly personal knowledge of both adoption and Capri.
An evocative read.
