'Rich, warm and sunny. A story that stays with you long after the last page is turned' Milly Johnson.

When life hands you lemons ... make Limoncello!

Zelda's life isn't exactly what she expected it to be in her 30's. Single, without a home of her own, and at another underwhelming 40th birthday party, she wonders if there might be more to life.

But her best friend Lennie has a plan, and before she knows it they have answered an advertisement to go to Sicily to help rejuvenate a crumbling town and head to the beautiful island as a couple.

A new life with her favourite person could be the chance to start over. But what if a summer in Sicily is about to change her life in more ways than she could have ever imagined?
