Summary

A sun-baked terrace. The rustle of vines. And the clink of wine glasses as the first cork of the evening is popped....

Welcome to Italy. A place that holds the answer to Zia-Lucia Costa Chalmers’ many questions. Not least, how she ended up with such a mouthful of a name.

When revelations close to home turn Zia’s world upside down, she realises the time has come to search out the Italian family she’s never known.

But as she looks for answers, she can’t help but notice Piero, the vineyard owner next door - a distraction who may prove difficult to ignore....

This summer, join Zia as she sets out to uncover her past. But can she find the future she’s always dreamed of along the way?

The perfect summer listen for fans of Katie Fforde and Carole Matthews.

Another excellent Sue Moorcroft book

Really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. Escapist fiction at its best! Narrator was great - both English and Italian sound totally natural and made the characters come to life with the different accents.
Only issue was last two 'chapters' were the same? An interview with the author, which was interesting but not enough to hear twice!
