‘In reading Sally Stewart’s work I’ve found someone after my own heart – a real storyteller’ Dame Catherine Cookson
When an American tycoon commissions Smythsons’ interior designers to refurbish an old Venetian palazzo he’s just bought, Jessica, exhausted and recovering from the death of her mother, decides that the break from London and the challenge of the job would be food for her, but it’s not long before she’s facing issues bigger than the ones she left behind. For here, in Venice, she discovers her real father – the rumbustious artist who abandoned her pregnant mother over thirty years before. And try as she may, she cannot avoid Llewellyn and his family for long.
Llewellyn’s children have their own reasons for resenting her sudden appearance in their lives. Quiet, beautiful Lorenza feels threatened by Jess’s developing relationship with the man she has unavailingly loved for years. To Marco, a passionate, budding politician, Jess and the wealthy American for whom she’s working stand for everything that’s wrong with Venice and its uncertain further. And Claudia – young, desirable and determined – wants no competition for the French cameraman she is falling in love with…
