Resting her head against the window of the plane, Mia looks down at the rolling Tuscan hills. Her heart breaks as she wonders when she will return to this magical place she calls home...
Throughout her childhood, Mia has watched her beloved sisters leave their Tuscan villa and start their own families. Now it's her turn and, having promised them that she will follow her heart, she hopes she will finally be brave enough fall in love herself...
Not long after she arrives in London, Mia meets Ben, a bookseller with warm hazel eyes and thick brown hair. As they spend more time together, Mia finds herself enchanted by his gentle smile. But just as she feels her affection for him growing, Ben tells her he can never leave London. Falling in love and building a life with him would mean saying goodbye to her home in the Tuscan hills forever.
As she thinks about her future, Mia finds a locket hidden in the house where she is staying, along with a long-forgotten love story that mirrors her own. As she uncovers diary entries from the eve of the First World War, she learns of a forbidden romance, and a woman who also once shared Mia's desire to find her place in the world.
But will the story Mia unravels inspire her to keep her promise to embrace the future, and let Ben into her heart at last? Or will she return to Italy, leaving behind the only man she has ever truly loved?
An unputdownable and heartbreaking emotional page-turner about family secrets, love and the power of finding home. Perfect for fans of Lucinda Riley, Santa Montefiore and Fiona Valpy.
This novel can be enjoyed as a standalone.
