An Italian Holiday by Maeve Haran Pdf

Sunshine, warmth, lemon blossom . . . Springtime in glorious Southern Italy can go to your head. Especially if you are escaping an overbearing husband, the embarrassingly public loss of your company, an interfering mother who still tries to run your life or the pain of a husband's affair with a girl young enough to be his daughter. As the Italian sun ripens the lemons in the groves that tumble down the hillsides and the Mediterranean dazzles beneath them, assertive Angela, extrovert Sylvie, unconfident Claire and mousy Monica find burgeoning friendship and begin to blossom in quite unexpected ways. Packed with memorable characters – from the acid-tongued Grand Old Man of Modern Art who lives next door – to the aspiring gigolo who thinks nothing of a forty year age gap, Maeve Haran's An Italian Holiday is a witty and entertaining reminder of why going a little mad in the sun can sometimes be exactly what you need.

The Italian Holiday by Victoria Springfield Pdf

Shortlisted for the RNA's Joan Hessayon Award for New Writers Sun, sea and spaghetti... Italy was Bluebell's dream destination, but taking her granny's place on the Loving and Knitting magazine competition holiday she'd won wasn't quite what she'd had in mind. For one thing she didn't knit and for the other...well being single probably discounted her from the love category too. But a free holiday is a free holiday and it's the perfect escape from her lacklustre life. Michela didn't think she'd be returning home to the Amalfi Coast so soon but a new job at her cousin's restaurant on the harbour of Positano is a dream gig, miles away from the grey London clouds. This time though, she vowed not to fall into old habits, Stefano was the past and now a bright future beckons. But under the Italian skies a whole host of possibilities await and maybe happy-ever-after is just a plane ride away... *** Readers are loving The Italian Holiday!

An Italian Island by Paul Wright Pdf

An Italian Island is an enthralling story based on four sets of circumstances that exist and are playing out in present day Italy. It is also full of irresistible Italian culture, romance, humour and valuable treasure, as well as the secrets of longevity and how to buy An Italian Home for one euro. After London born university student Sarah Stevenson returns from an enjoyable holiday in hot, sunny Crete, with Tony Hamilton, her Anglo-American student boyfriend, she seriously considers upping sticks and moving there. However, it is a further three years until they can afford another holiday and that happens after Sarah becomes a geography teacher in a middle school, and Tony qualifies as a neuroscientist; There second holiday together, this time to a beautiful but failing Italian island, is to change the course of both their young lives. And it begins when Sarah hears from the mayor that the island will be a 'ghost' island within ten years because its population is diminishing rapidly that she resigns from her teaching job to help save it. Despite a group of inhospitable locals on her back, who protest vigorously when she tells them she intends selling hundreds of abandoned properties to foreigners for the token price of one euro per dwelling, and importing migrant labour to do the restoration work, she eventually wins through.

My Very Italian Holiday by Sue Roberts Pdf

"After losing the love of her life in a tragic accident, thirty-year-old Gina is struggling. Running her little guesthouse in the hills of the Lake District keeps her going, but her heart isn't in it any more. When new guest, Fabio Garcia, arrives, Gina feels a spark that reminds her she's alive. He's tall, dark but with startling blue eyes, and makes her laugh, for the first time in... forever. Guilt holds her back, but friends, and a glass (or three) of wine, push her into his arms. It's nothing serious, which, Gina realises, is exactly what she needs, so when he invites her to his family's crumbling Italian villa, on the sparkling waters of Lake Como, she says yes. It's hard not to fall for the grand, sandstone Villa Lucia, its faded wallpaper, green shutters, and Fabio, serving fresh coffee in bed. But Gina knows where she belongs, and she's just not ready to explore the hidden depths she discovers in this handsome Italian. Just when Gina thinks she might change her mind, his sister reveals a secret that sends Gina packing. And it's a relief. Because she was right not to open her heart to Fabio, to walk away from him, the villa, the moonlit lake... Wasn't she?" -- Provided by publisher.

An Italian Summer by Claude Nori Pdf

With its evocative images, this book immerses us in a world of dolce vita, youthful enthusiasm, the joy and beauty of Italian holidays -- an atmosphere filled with young girls' laughter, stifling heat, the sounds of crashing surf and the playful cat-and-mouse games of the sexes. And he also tells us a story -- a tale of people of all generations who leave home each year to return to a familiar place that is close to their hearts, where they pursue the very same holiday rituals year in and year out: Miss Rimini for one short summer season, a passionate kiss on the beach, nightly parties in the bars and restaurants, the joyful exuberance of youthful cliques seeking to experience everything life offers nowhere else in just a few short weeks and to forget what everyday life is. With his concentrated, atmospheric images, which bear the imprint of a fascinated, passionate observer, Claude Nori succeeds masterfully in capturing that mixture of Mediterranean lifestyle and carefree holiday spirit that awakens memories and longings in us all.
