About this listen

A story about love, family secrets and a little piece of heaven....

In the beautiful village of Vernazza, the Mazzone family have transformed an old convent overlooking the glamorous Italian Riviera into the elegant Lemon Tree Hotel. For Chiara, her daughter, Elene, and her granddaughter, Isabella, the running of their hotel is the driving force in their lives.

One day, two unexpected guests check in. The first, Dante, is a face from Chiara's past, but what exactly happened between them all those years ago, Elene wonders. Meanwhile, Isabella is preoccupied with the second guest, a mysterious young man who seems to know a lot about the history of the old convent and the people who live there. Isabella is determined to find out his true intentions and discover the secret past of the Lemon Tree Hotel.

Fabulous

The author creates not only a vivid image of the Italian country side and the food grown and eaten there but most importantly she reminds us of how important it is to listen to your heart when making life decisions. Her descriptions filled my mind of frescos, alcoves and the blue sea. All while weaving in a bit of history and creating a place for the listeners mind to wander. This was a great listen!

Drawn out but easy listen

This story has no depth and is way too long, but is ok if you’re looking for an easy listen. Narrator does a good job.

Soap opera

The Italian setting is so beautiful I thought I could endure the typical dragged out romance and emotional drama of soap opera-type books. I had hope that with the beautiful setting and the hotel being a former convent for nuns - that the writer would bring a balance of interesting plot points and details to the book. There WERE a few interesting plot points but the preponderance of the book is emotional issues and dialogue. I guess that's what some people want - not me.

Painfully slow and redundant

I love Italy so much that I can listen to just about any book set there, but this was painful. The endless retrospective questions, the “lemon tree hotel” mentioned a billion times, the Constant redundancy, was just too much.
