The Villa Girls by Nicky Pellegrino

Warning: Do not read this book hungry! In Nicky Pellegrino’s distinctive fashion food is liberally featured.

Savour this story as you are whisked away to the wonderful country of Italy - where the enjoyment of excellent yet simple food is an integral part of everyday life.

Four English girls are on holiday in Italy – this book deals with what happens then, later and then later still. The in-between stories are interesting as the girls are growing up and making their own way in the world, particularly the main character who has lost both parents.

This is a relaxing read, perfect for a duvet day.
