    About this audiobook

    Escape to Italy with this sumptuous story of secrets and friendships under Mediterranean skies.

    A recipe for life should be a simple thing: love and happiness, family, friends and a little food. But life is rarely straightforward...

    Alice wants to make the most of life - after all, she knows how fragile it can be - and knows she never feels more alive than when she's cooking.

    Babetta has spent a lifetime tending the garden of her tiny house on the Italian coast, supplying food to feed a family now grown and gone.

    One summer these two women are brought together in a crumbling Mediterranean villa, with the shared language of food. There, under the heat of the Italian sun, or the shade of the pomegranate tree, secrets will be spoken, fears and hopes shared. But life's lessons are not learnt easily.

      A fairly light and flavoursome read, peppered with delicious descriptions. The plot seems rather prolonged - from the cover it looks like it all occurs in one summer - when it really spans more than two decades. Still, it was compelling and appealing, even if it seemed to lack that extra spice.
    • 5/5
      Not your typical ‘chick lit’ book. Characters have a lot of depth and do not always take the conventional route. Fabulous Italian setting and the description of food is mouth watering.
    • 5/5
      This story was a pleasure to read. Set between England and Italy with food, and memorable delightful characters. Very easy to read, just enough detail to keep the story moving in at a pace that kept you up to date with the happenings in their lives. It made me want to go and live in a villa or cottage by the sea in Italy and discover the delights of life at a much more agreeable pace.
