I came across this audiobook quite by accident (on Paperbackswap) and thank goodness for that accident. It is a most delightful audiobook. The story is easy to love and funny. The narrator does a wonderful job telling the story.

Set in the eighties, it's a well written fun story of two sisters from England who go to Liguria, Italy and fall in love with it and buy a home. Wholesome and quite fun. The characters are likeable and believeable. It's really a wonderful audiobook with some interesting and often funny cultural insights. Pretty lighthearted and feel good.

It is not a romance story, to my great relief, as I thought it might be. Except the "romance" between the women and the land and the culture.

I truly loved it.
