This is the first time I have read one of Sue Moorcroft’s books and I loved it. The setting was perfect and I could really imagine being there. The characters too were really good and the story was brilliant. On the down side, I did find the person narrating the story hard to listen too and at times felt she sounded bored reading it aloud with not much thought given to punctuation and different people talking. However the book more than made up for this and I’m looking forward to read some more of this author’s books

Narrator 5 stars

Story 4 stars

What stands out the most for me, and I wish more authors did this was what a strong character Zia was. Finally a female character that isn't a walk over with the ex boyfriend. The way she stood up to him from the very beginning again and again is what makes this book different to the other 1000 similar to this in its category.

What a delightful read! This was my first Moorcroft's and I definetly want to read many more. I was captivated from the very start and couldn't put this book down, as I wanted to know what would happen to Zia Lucia Costa (such a mouthful of a name!) and her extended estranged family.
There are so many questions that you'd want answered at the beginning and in time the book answers to all of them, so it's very satisfying. The settings are beautiful and the characters relatable and well-drawn.
I read this book both as an ebook and as an audiobook, and I want to say that the narrator is incredible, I loved hearing all the different accent, great job!
Highly enjoyable and definitely recommended!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Oh goodness me this book was awesome. I had the pleasure of listening to it through audio and I just couldn’t stop listening, A delightful and charming story that had me hooked. I adored it.

Really enjoyed this book, especially as it was audio - I listened whilst walking the dog and doing DIY and cleaning around the house.

It took me a while to warm up to the narrator but then by the end I thought she was the perfect choice.

Loved the story - couldn't work out how it was going to end and glad it kept me guessing!

Zia-Lucia Costa Chalmers has plenty of questions about her family, (and that name), so she journeys to Italy to find some answers. While searching for the Italian family she’s never known, Zia is more than a little distracted by vineyard owner Piero. This is a delightful story of love and family under the Italian sun. The perfect distraction amid lockdowns and canceled vacations
