Absolutely adore this book! It was beautiful from beginning to end and just the most darling story. Add this to your TBR lists!

Secrets and romance, intrigue and mystery.. Oh! what a joy this was to read.

An Italian Island Secret is pure escapism and I was immediately transported to another world where the sun shone and the food was delicious.

It is a wonderfully descriptive read as well as being an interesting tale combining past and present with a touch of glamour.

I adored it

An Italian Island Secret by Victoria Springfield due to be published in early 2025 is an intriguing family story that involves romance, secrets, and coming to terns with the past. I really enjoyed this book and feel that anyone who appreciates family stories with a strong sense of place and great descriptions of both locations and food will really appreciate this as well. I have never been to Italy, but the vivid descriptions made me truly feel like I was there. The story also contains a mystery with a satisfying conclusion.

While the characters could have been more distinct and the dialogue a bit sharper, An Italian Island Secret has much to recommend it and these quibbles can be overlooked. I would certainly read from this author again.
