    About this audiobook

    Lose yourself in the sun-drenched hills of the Amalfi coast with Santa Montefiore...

    Gianluca has to admit his life is empty so, in search of serenity and a deeper purpose to his existence, he flees to Italy, to the magical Palazzo Montelimone, lovingly restored by his parents, to assess his future.

    But life on the sun-drenched Amalfi coast is not as peaceful as Luca anticipates. The palazzo is filled with his mother's eccentric friends and haunted by the ghosts of its murderous past.

    He meets a woman whose dark eyes are heavy with sorrow and a solemn little boy with an incredible secret.

    As he begins to unravel a mystery that has its roots in a long-ago act of violence, Luca is forced to face his greatest fear in exchange for the greatest truth.

    This is quite simply a beautiful read and will make you believe again in love that conquers all (News of the World)

    If you've finally got that longed for glass of chilled Prosecco . . . now is the perfect time to read this gripping romance . . . It is as believable as the writing is beautiful. (Telegraph)

    Stunning setting, compelling storyline, powerful emotions - it's Santa Montefiore at her gloriously intoxicating best. (Daily Record)

    Santa Montefiore does sweeping canvases of luxury life to a T (Daily Mail)

    Deeply atmospheric. (Woman)

    Montefiore's latest book, with its supernatural plotline, is a departure from her usual stuff. However, fans will be relieved that all her other ingredients are present and correct: the exotic setting, the beautiful . . . characters and lashings of romance. (Londonlite)

    Both a love story and a ghost story wrapped in Italian sunshine (Choice)
