INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
In this “magical trip worth taking” (Associated Press), the New York Times bestselling author of In Five Years returns with a powerful novel about the transformational love between mothers and daughters set on the breathtaking Amalfi Coast.
When Katy’s mother dies, she is left reeling. Carol wasn’t just Katy’s mom, but her best friend and first phone call. She had all the answers and now, when Katy needs her the most, she is gone. To make matters worse, their planned mother-daughter trip of a lifetime looms: to Positano, the magical town where Carol spent the summer right before she met Katy’s father. Katy has been waiting years for Carol to take her, and now she is faced with embarking on the adventure alone.
But as soon as she steps foot on the Amalfi Coast, Katy begins to feel her mother’s spirit. Buoyed by the stunning waters, beautiful cliffsides, delightful residents, and, of course, delectable food, Katy feels herself coming back to life.
And then Carol appears—in the flesh, healthy, sun-tanned, and thirty years old. Katy doesn’t understand what is happening, or how—all she can focus on is that she has somehow, impossibly, gotten her mother back. Over the course of one Italian summer, Katy gets to know Carol, not as her mother, but as the young woman before her. She is not exactly who Katy imagined she might be, however, and soon Katy must reconcile the mother who knew everything with the young woman who does not yet have a clue.
“Rebecca Serle is known for her powerful stories that tug at the heartstrings—and her latest is just as unforgettable” (Woman’s World) as it effortlessly shows us how to move on after loss, and how the people we love never truly leave us.

Though I tend to favor historical narratives, I had been looking for something lighter as a break. I am sure that the ability to visualize the settings , from my own memories, added to my enjoyment but it is a good , at times sentimental , read. It’s exploration of a mother/daughter relationship is authentic and relatable

What might be at stake here, however, is the absolute abysmal narration. It was so horrible I found myself cringing and trying to listen past Lauren Graham’s brash, whiny and oftentimes flippant delivery. It was as though she’d never heard a human conversation before. She spoke in clipped phrases and her voice was heavy and mismatched to the content. Ugh it was actively bad. Also the Italian words she spoke were terribly mispronounced. More cringe. I wonder what I would have thought about this book if I had read it, instead of listening to Graham. I think this was a case of the narration really negatively impacting my overall impression.
So overall it could be a decent but forgettable beach type read, but read it!! Do not listen!
Half decent book, terrible narration

I did not enjoy the narrator…I think her reading was abrupt and choppy.
It would have been so much better if read by someone who expressed feeling.
Wonderful story
