ABOUT THIS BOOK Could the lemon groves of Sicily be the perfect place to start over? The irresistible new novel from Jo Thomas, the author of Sunset Over the Cherry Orchard, will transport you to the island of mountains and sparkling blue seas. When life hands you lemons ... is it ever too late for a second chance? Zelda's impulsive nature has got her precisely nowhere up until now. A fresh start in a beautiful hilltop town in Sicily looking for new residents, together with her best friend Lennie, could be just what she needs. And who better to settle down with than the person who knows her best? But the sun-filled skies and sparkling seas can't hide the shadow hanging over Citta d'Ora, which means not everyone is pleased to see their arrival. The dreams Zelda and her fellow new residents had of setting up a new life might be slipping away. But a friendship with restauranteur Luca could be about to unlock the possibilities that lie in the local lemon groves. And there's a wedding on the horizon that might be just what the town needs to turn it around... Could a summer in Sicily help Zelda learn to trust her instinct and follow her heart? MY REVIEW Welcome to MY LEMON GROVE SUMMER by Jo Thomas. A novel that will enrich your senses in a way that will have you looking up trips to Sicily within minutes of reading it. A novel with in-depth characters that will captivate you from the very beginning and make you ignore daily life as you just have to finish one more page. We have all seen those ads that offer you a new life in an often small community abroad in exchange for work, right? But have you ever thought of what might happen if you said yes and moved to one of these stunning locations? Well, this is the case for Zelda and a group of strangers who find themselves in a stunning town in Sicily, where the scent of lemons lingers in the air. This place is perfect and as new residents and old begin to mingle, friendships begin to form. But there is something a little off about this magical place and all is never quite what it seems. Can this newly formed community band together to unlock their new potential both in their new home and themselves? MY LEMON GROVE SUMMER by Jo Thomas is simply wonderful and there is not one thing I would change about this tantalising tale. The sights, smells, sounds, and tastes take on a life of their own as I have now come to expect from this fabulous author, and the setting is breathtaking. There is drama, friendship, fresh starts, and tradition, all combining in this book to make it such an engaging story and I highly recommend MY LEMON GROVE SUMMER by Jo Thomas to any reader who likes to be transported to another country in every possible way.
