Summary

Seventy-five-year-old Ronnie has made it her mission to help women of a certain age rediscover themselves. The owner of a palazzo in Rome, she has left her troubled past behind and reinvented herself in the most beautiful city in the world. And now she helps other women to do the same. Renting out her spare apartment for three months at a time, Ronnie invites her guests to take on a series of challenges that will help them to embrace beauty and joy, to rediscover themselves and to live their lives to the fullest.

But Ronnie’s confident exterior hides heartbreak and closely held secrets. Why did she leave England all those years ago, and what was she running away from? How did a woman who helps others to fix their shattered lives become estranged from her very own daughter, Nadia?

As Ronnie welcomes her latest guest to the Rome apartment, Nadia appears unannounced on her doorstep – pregnant and alone. In order to fix her family, she will have to dig up secrets from her past that could risk destroying everything …

Wonderful! Beautifully written and beautifully read

I loved this book - nearly as much as Other peoples marriages which remains my favourite of Kerry Fishers. I particularly liked the way the older female characters were so vibrant and vital, the fabulous narrator really bought the book to life! I was listening to it in my car sometimes tearful and sometimes smiling away to myself. Couldn't get enough - Love love loved it!!

Life lessons about perspective

Great to see that no matter how old you get you can always learn to see things in a different way to improve your life experience. Love this series . I love all Kerry’s books, they are always thought provoking and explore how we all live in a “grey “ area , much as we’d love everything to be black and white . Thankyou

Fantastic

I really enjoyed the 2nd book in this series, I do hope there will will be a 3rd but appreciate that’s a big ask! Again I was back in my favourite city enjoying the sights, sounds, smells and bustle, if only in my head. The characters are wonderfully engaging, I hope we can find out how they get on…. Hint hint Kerry x
