According to the magazine column that Emily writes, life in Italy is just perfect. In reality though, it’s certainly not. After her husband leaves her, Emily is left alone in their Tuscan farmhouse, along with her three children, who all have their own problems. We are gradually introduced to Emily, her children, her friends, and her new love interest, and the developing story is warmly and humorously told. The surrounding countryside and towns are delightfully described, and there is some interesting local history explored. The various storylines all weave together towards the end, and finishing the book felt like leaving behind some good friends. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
A heartfelt, witty story of one woman's journey from heartbreak to adventure, full of gorgeous Italian flavour. Emily Robertson looks like the woman who has it all: the lovingly restored Tuscan farmhouse, the three beautiful children, the successful, attentive husband. But when her husband dumps her by text message, she has to face up to some stark home truths. How will Emily cope, stranded in the countryside with no man, no money, dodgy phrasebook Italian and a psychotic cleaner? Her eldest girl is out of her depth with the local seducer, her middle daughter is dangerously underweight, and her darling baby is fast becoming a brat. But soon Emily finds herself being drawn into the village of Monte Albano, and discovering a more genuine Italy, darker and more intriguing than she had ever imagined. She and her children are outsiders no more - and if she can get over a slightly embarrasing obsession with her youthful first love, a rogueish stranger might be about to show her the time of her life...

I must admit that at first I didn't like Emily and her family very much, but I soon started to warm to them and really enjoyed their story. I'd call this a feel-good sort of read - nothing too taxing, just a pleasant story, and I'm looking forward to reading more from this writer. ( )
