RECOMMENDED READ:

The View from Lake Como by Adriana Trigiani – After a painful divorce and family upheaval in working-class Lake Como, New Jersey, draftswoman Jess Capodimonte Baratta flees to Carrara, Italy, where artistic ambition and new relationships reshape her understanding of love, loyalty, and personal fulfillment.

Why Rose Recommends it: Adriana Trigiani has become an author I can rely on for a gentle read with excellent characters. In The View from Lake Como, we meet Jess, who recently inherited her Uncle’s business (and an investigation from the IRS), prompting her to go to Italy to learn more about the business, cooperating fully with the investigation, while making sure she learns what she needs about the business.

Full of charm and humour, you’re going to fall in love with Jess, her love interest, and her family.

The gorgeous Italian setting only adds to the beauty of this book, and lets me hang on to summer for just a little while longer.
