Synopsis

‘Be whisked away in this sunny, heartwarming read’ Woman’s Own ‘I adored it’ Milly Johnson ‘Enchanting and wonderfully romantic’ Cathy Bramley ‘I adored it. The perfect summer read!’ Lesley Pearse Grace Quinn loves her job at Cohen’s Convenient Storage Company, finding occasional treasure in the forgotten units that customers have abandoned. Her inquisitive nature is piqued when a valuable art collection and a bundle of letters and diaries are found that date back to the 1930s. Delving deeper, Grace uncovers the story of a young English woman, Connie Levine, who follows her heart to Italy at the end of the Second World war. The contents also offer up the hope of a new beginning for Grace, battling a broken heart and caring for her controlling mother. Embarking on her own voyage of discovery, Grace’s search takes her to a powder pink villa on the cliff tops overlooking the Italian Riviera, but will she unravel the family secrets and betrayals that Connie tried so hard to overcome, and find love for herself?

Sweet, maybe a bit too cloyingly sweet for my taste. Think I’ve read one of the cupcake books before. Bit of a mystery to it too which made it more intriguing. Ending with a bread recipe?

Where on earth do I start in telling you about this marvellous book? Would it be with the mystery element, of just why such valuable things had been left in a storage locker, and is there anyone to return them to? The mystery of what happened to Constance in her life, as told from snippets of diarie......more
