One Italian Summer

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER RIGHT AWAY

The New York Times bestselling author of In Five Years returns with a gripping book about the transformative love between mothers and daughters set on the gorgeous Amalfi Coast in this "magical trip worth taking" (Associated Press).

Katy is devastated by her mother's passing. Not only was Carol Katy's mother, but she was also her first caller and best friend. When Katy needed her the most, she was gone, and she had all the answers. Worse, they have a once-in-a-lifetime vacation planned with their mother and daughter to Positano, the wonderful location where Carol spent her summer before meeting Katy's father. After waited for Carol to accompany her for years, Katy must finally go on the trip by herself.

But Katy feels her mother's presence the moment she sets foot on the Amalfi Coast. Katy feels that she's reviving herself because of the gorgeous cliffsides, gorgeous waves, friendly locals, and delicious cuisine, of course.

And suddenly Carol is there, thirty years old, robust, and browned from the sun. Katy is only concerned with the fact that she has miraculously and somehow managed to win her mother back; she has no idea what is going on or how. During the course of one Italian summer, Katy comes to know Carol as the young lady in front of her rather than as her mother. But she's not quite who Katy had anticipated, and Katy will soon have to make amends between the mother who had all the answers and the young lady who doesn't know anything yet.

"Woman's World, Rebecca Serle's most recent novel, is just as unforgettable as her previous ones, pulling at the heartstrings with ease and demonstrating the enduring nature of our loved ones."
