About this listen

 A story about love, family secrets, and a little piece of heaven . . .

In the beautiful village of Vernazza, the Mazzone family have transformed an old convent overlooking the glamorous Italian Riviera into the elegant Lemon Tree Hotel. For Chiara, her daughter Elene and her granddaughter Isabella, the running of their hotel is the driving force in their lives.

One day, two unexpected guests check in. The first, Dante, is a face from Chiara's past, but what exactly happened between them all those years ago, Elene wonders. Meanwhile, Isabella is preoccupied with the second guest, a mysterious young man who seems to know a lot about the history of the old convent and the people who live there. Isabella is determined to find out his true intentions and discover the secret past of the Lemon Tree Hotel.

Critic reviews

Beautifully written and gently captivating
Sun-soaked escapism
A glorious read that feels like a summer holiday in a book
Holiday romance at its most evocative and escapist
Unabashedly romantic . . slips down like easy-drinking vino infused with Mediterranean sunshine
I loved this wonderful tale of forbidden love and mysterious family secrets . . . completely beguiling and beautifully told
This wonderful family saga has it all: the irresistible temptations of love long-denied, burgeoning secrets from the past, the gorgeous background of the Italian Riviera. A perfect summer read
A gorgeous, mouth-watering dream of a holiday read!
Beautiful, evocative writing
A wonderfully relaxing sun lounger read
The ultimate feel-good read, perfect for fans of Santa Montefiore, Victoria Hislop and Leah Fleming
I loved the sultry sensuous feeling . . . a fascinating story
Evocative prose adds to the novel's charm. You can almost smell the lemons on the tree in the hotel grounds
If you're due a holiday and need a good dose of sunshine, glamour and/or romance, then look no further... Pure, fun escapism
If you can't afford a holiday in glorious Italy this summer, then bask in its sultry heat and unrivalled beauties alongside master storyteller Rosanna Ley
An indulgently escapist read... dramatic and evocative
All stars

Loved the story and the narration was excellent. Descriptions of the locality made you feel you were part of the scenery. Plus the recipes being prepared were mouthwatering. Little more to say!

A winner

I’ve listened to Rosanna Ley’s other books and have enjoyed them all, but this one failed to capture my interest. Even the beautiful setting didn’t help. I persevered for several hours hoping to get into the story as I was interested in hearing what, in particular Giovanna’s story might be but not enough to plough on any further, I’m sorry to say.

So I’ve given up and returned this one.
