One Summer in Venice by Nicky Pellegrino is one of those
books that sneak up on you in the first few pages and then demand to be
read. The author lives in New Zealand
which makes her special in my book. She
is British however and is also of Italian extraction which no doubt helps to
explain the authenticity she brings to a novel largely set in Venice.
The main
protagonist is someone who has set her sights on being successful on all fronts
and then finds herself up against it.
She goes to Venice on her own for a few days and ending up staying the
whole summer. And that's all I'm going
to tell you about the story. Read it and
enjoy.
Oh, I DO SO want to read this!!! Thank you for the recommendation! I will be going to the library to look for it soon!
