I am delighted to be on the tour to celebrate the publication of One Summer in Italy <\/i>by Victoria Springfield<\/b>. It is published today by Boldwood Books<\/b> on 14th May.<\/span><\/p>\n


A return to Venice. A friendship rekindled. A time for romance.<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Natalie<\/span>\u2019s
\n landed the opportunity of a lifetime hosting television show ‘Luxe Life
\n Swap’, but she\u2019s dreading going back to Venice, scene of the school
\ntrip that changed her life. The beauty of the floating city and handsome
\n watch restorer Eraldo begin to win her over, however. But then
\nglamorous contestant Cate arrives, the girl who was once plain, ordinary
\n Cathy \u2013 the ex-best friend Natalie blames for the night that wrecked
\nher life.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cate<\/span>\u2019s
\nswapping The Old Vicarage for two weeks in a Venetian palazzo, hoping
\nshe might pluck up the courage to go on the quest she\u2019s been putting off
\n for more than twenty years. Forced to spend time with Natalie, Cate
\nhopes to rebuild their friendship \u2013 until Natalie makes a shocking
\naccusation against Cate\u2019s husband. Cate needs to find out the truth but
\nhow can she expect Phil to be honest when she\u2019s keeping secrets of her
\nown?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0My Thoughts<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b>The friendship between Natalie and Cate is central to the story. When Natalie reconnects with Cate, through work, she discovers so much about how they have both developed as adults. The events of their teenage trip to Venice have had a profound effect on Natalie. Cate seems to have reinvented herself and it is through their rekindled friendship that Cate is able to face up to her feelings towards her parents. Phil, her husband, has been her protector all through their marriage but as is revealed through events, he has some deeply buried secrets from his past.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Venice is a magnificent backdrop to the story and Natalie sets out to explore it. In doing this, she makes new friendships and there is a gentle romance under the surface. You get the feeling with Natalie that she has missed her true potential and her visit to Venice opens her horizons and gives her the confidence to take a risk.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In short: second chance friendship and new romance
