Bloomsbury presents Postcards from Sicily by Nancy Barone, read by Harrie Dobby.
A heartwarming story about mother-daughter relationships and starting over in life, set in a luxurious Italian spa resort
Olivia swore she would never grow up to be like her mother, who fled to Sicily to be with her lover when Olivia was a teenager. But now in her thirties, the spark in Olivia's marriage has been extinguished for years, she's hopelessly pining over her attractive business partner, Markus, and her own teenage daughter barely speaks to her.
So when her estranged mother offers to pay for an eight-week trip to a luxurious wellness centre in Italy, Olivia reluctantly accepts. A break will be good for her. For everyone. There's just one catch... Susan is staying in the adjoining room.
Fuelled by gorgeous weather, good food and even better wine, can the two women overcome their history and form the mother-daughter bond that Olivia always dreamed of? Or is it too late for second chances?
