About this listen

Stella has life under control - and that's the way she likes it. For 25 years, she's been the trusted assistant to a legendary fashion designer, but after her boss dies suddenly, she's left with nothing to do apart from clear the studio.

It seems as though the life she wanted has vanished. She is lost - until one day she finds a house swap website and sees a beautiful old villa in a Southern Italian village. Could she really exchange her poky London flat for that?

But what was intended as just a break becomes much more, as Stella finds herself trying on a stranger's life. As the villa begins to get under her skin, she can't help but imagine the owner from the clues around her. She meets his friends, cooks the local food he recommends and follows suggestions to go to his favourite places. But can an idea of someone ever match up to the reality?

As Stella wonders if she can let go of the safety of her past, perhaps there's a chance for her to find a way into her future....

Relaxing read

Storyline and characters were interesting without being too complex. Liked the details about locations and descriptions of daily events. Decent storytelling and great for reading when you need something light and distracting.

Slow beach read

Story line good, narrator good, but “Italian Skies” were barely mentioned. A little boring. Finished, which means I had to enjoy it somewhat! Right? Actually, it could have taken place any place. Italy was a very small part which is why the disappointing feeling.
