Publisher's Summary

Grace Quinn loves her job at Cohens Convenient Storage Company, finding occasional treasure in the forgotten units that customers have abandoned. Her inquisitive nature is piqued when a valuable art collection and a bundle of letters and diaries are found that date back to the 1930s.

Delving deeper, Grace uncovers the story of a young English woman, Connie Levine, who follows her heart to Italy at the end of the Second World war. The contents also offer up the hope of a new beginning for Grace, battling a broken heart and caring for her controlling mother.

Embarking on her own voyage of discovery, Graces search takes her to a powder pink villa on the cliff tops overlooking the Italian Riviera, but will she unravel the family secrets and betrayals that Connie tried so hard to overcome, and find love for herself?

Easy read

Listening to this book made the story for me! Very touching story and interesting characters. I found myself pulling for Grace and hoping better days were coming.

Great escape to Italy

I loved this book. I listened to the audio version, and it made it even better! The narrator did an excellent job with the different voices and accents.

Loved the story as well. Connie's story told through her letters found by Grace made it a different approach to the dual timeline.

Good story

I liked the story. However, in the romance novels today, the couples all se to make love, declare their their love for each other , embarque on a
Relationship,but never seem to get married.
