Synopsis

'The perfect recipe for the ultimate escapist read!' VERONICA HENRY

Love happens when you least expect it...

Assunta has given up on love. She might run her little trattoria in the most romantic mountain town in Italy, but love just seems to have passed her by.

Sarah-Jane is finished with love. She's hiring an old convertible and driving around Italy this summer - it's the perfect way to forget all about her hot celebrity ex-boyfriend!

But when Sarah-Jane's car breaks down in Montenello, she has to stay longer than she intended! And the trouble is, love is everywhere...

Skaitydama šią knygą ir aš keliavau po Italiją. Taip gražiai ir vaizdžiai aprašyta, o jau maistas, gamta, mmm net įsivaizduodavau. Skaičiau lėtai ir mėgavausi knyga. Pati istorija įdomi, bet lėta, kaip ir gyvenimas Italijoje, kurioje žmonės niekur neskuba.😉......more

Trečioji mano perskaityta N.Pellegrino knyga ir antroji, sugrąžinusi į nedidelį, bet žavų Montenelo miestelį. Ir turbūt ta, kuro patiko labiausiai. Istorija sukasi apie dvi moteris - Sarą Džeinę, dėl sugedusio automobilio įstrigusią Montenele ir Asuntą, vietinio restorano savininkę, besirūpinančią t......more

Goodreads review by Gabija. on August 13, 2022

Man atrodo, dabar kai pradėjau gaminti ir išmokau tą daryti, į rankas pakliūva knygos vien su maisto gaminimu susijusios 🤭😁 Žinoma, šioje knygoje maistas ne toks svarbus, kaip aplinka.
