About this ebook
“A wonderfully rich web of intrigue and romance, love and betrayal” set in 1920s Tuscany—from the author of Freedom’s Banner (Barbara Erskine).
When Carrie Stowe unexpectedly inherits her eccentric grandmother’s Italian villa, she sets her heart on escaping the suffocating and toxic reality of life with her repressive husband, Arthur.
But after arriving late at night during a violent storm, she discovers that she is not alone. Waiting for her in the darkness is Leo, a mysterious figure from her past.
As Carrie sifts through the secrets of her grandmother’s diaries, she finds herself increasingly drawn to Leo. Entangled in a vice of obsession, she must ask herself: is he really who he claims to be?
The Italian House is a spellbinding saga perfect for fans of Victoria Hislop and Elena Ferrante.
“The plot—involving revelations of murder, bigamy and greed—is solid, and the descriptions of the Italian landscapes and seasons are positively lyrical.” —Publishers Weekly
