THE ITALIAN DAUGHTER - SORAYA LANE TASCHENBUCH

Estee  I bought this ring the day after I saw you on stage at La Scala  all those years ago.
You're the only woman I've ever loved. Estee wanted to see it so badly  but instead she reached
for Felix's hand and gently closed it over the box. No  she whispered. I want you to propose
only when you're truly free. When Lily is called to a lawyer's office in London  she has no
idea that her life is about to change forever. There  she is told that her grandmother was born
at Hope House  a home for unmarried mothers  and is given a box containing the only clues to
her true heritage. Peeling back the delicate layers of paper she finds an Italian recipe and a
theatre programme. Travelling to Italy and taking a job on a vineyard  Lily is determined to
unravel the mystery of her past. The vineyard owners  in particular their charming son Antonio
offer to help. They tell Lily that the recipe belongs to the wealthy Rossi family  known for
their famous bakeries which opened after the Second World War. Antonio offers to drive Lily to
the Rossis' village and deep down  Lily is delighted to have him as her guide. When Lily
arrives and shows the recipe to the surviving members of the family  it is clear that she has
unearthed a tragic love story: of a young girl named Estee and a boy named Felix. Of a
childhood friendship which developed into a passionate love affair. Of a family torn apart by
wealth and of two young people who were prepared to sacrifice everything for love. But when
Lily finds out the truth about her family and who she really is  will she too be able to follow
her heart? An utterly enchanting and heartbreaking novel about lost loves  family secrets and
enduring hope. Perfect for fans of Lucinda Riley  Santa Montefiore and Victoria Hislop.
