My Review
5☆ Prepare to be charmed by this utterly enchanting tale!
One Summer in Italy is a gorgeous Heartwarming read, that I simply fell in love with. I can't recommend it enough.
When Sofia's father passes away, he urges her to visit their family in MontelibertΓ Italy.
You see Sofia's father left Italy with Sofia's Mum before she was born.
Her mother passed away when she was young, and for some reason her father never went back.
Her never wanted to discuss why.
But on his death bed, he asks Sofia to promise to do several thing's....
1. Go to MontelibertΓ
2. Live her life, travel, have fun, experience love and romance.
3. Put flowers on her grandparents grave.
4. Visit her Uncle Gianni and say Sorry
5. Go to MontelibertΓ and drink Orvieto Classico as it’s meant to be drunk
So Sofia sets off to MontelibertΓ to fulfil her father's wishes.
It's here she finds a job at Il Giardino restaurant and hotel. Where she befriends Amy.
Sofia's and Amy's friendship was so lovely to watch. Amy really looked up Sofia especially when she helps save her job.
I simply adored watching Sofia become a lovely, strong, independent young women.
It melted my heart watching her discover her family and her father's past.
I thoroughly adored reading this deliciously heart-warming book.
It was a tender & inspiring read.
This vivid rich tale has absolutely stolen my heart.
There was a sprinkle of mystery, a good dash of romance, beautiful friendships, plenty of witty humour and a beautiful location.
The characters are strong, relatable and unique where you just can't help routing for them to suceed.
Prepare to be charmed by this utterly enchanting tale.
A Summer must read. Perfect piece of escapism. Enjoy!!

Scrumptious Recipe
Amy’s Tiramisu
Ingredients
6 large free-range eggs (separated)
200g caster sugar
250g mascarpone
250ml double cream
250ml coffee
170ml Marsala wine
35 sponge finger biscuits
Cocoa powder for dusting
Method
- Whisk together the egg yolks with the sugar in a large bowl. Once the mixture is pale and creamy, add in the mascarpone and stir until it is well-combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until you can create soft peaks. Gently fold this whipped cream into the mascarpone, egg and sugar mixture.
- In another bowl, use an electric whisk to whip the egg whites into soft peaks. Ensure that the bowl is very clean and dry when you do this, or your egg whites will not whisk properly. Once you can form soft peaks, fold the egg whites gently into the other mixture of cream, mascarpone, egg and sugar.
- Spoon a third of this mixture into a large dish and gently spread over the base.
- In a small bowl, mix together the coffee and Marsala. Dip half of the sponge fingers into the coffee and Marsala mixture, and lay them on top of the creamy mixture in the base of the dish. Don’t try and soak all of the sponge fingers at once – they will become too soggy to handle if left soaking for too long!
- Spoon another third of the creamy mixture evenly over the layer of sponge fingers, and then add another layer of coffee-Masala dipped sponge fingers.
- Add the final third of the creamy mixture evenly to the top, cover the dish and leave to chill in the fridge for 24 hours.
- Dust with cocoa powder before serving.
