‘So romantic it almost throbs in the hand . . .’

—Debra Adelaide, Sydney Morning Herald

‘A luxurious story of sudden love, done properly . . .’

—Kirkus Review

Praise for An Umbrian Love Story

‘Sure to have any Italophile pining for Umbria.’

—The Age

‘Plenty of food, wine and vivid descriptions of a life lived to

the full in Italy, this time in Orvieto.’
