Could Rome be where the heart is?
Sixteen-year-old Scottish–Italian Livia feels like an outsider,
spending the summer in her grandmother’s bar in Rome.
Smug local boy Giulio works there too, and quickly becomes Livia’s
nemesis. She is not going to be the cliché foreign
girl who has a summer romance.
But as Livia navigates family drama, new-found friendships and
. . . Giulio, she starts to see the city – and herself –
in a new light . . .
- Perfect for fans of Love and Gelato, To
All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and Anna and the French
Kiss.
- Think ice cream dates, gorgeous Italian boys and sightseeing
on a Vespa!
- Scottish Italian author, Bruna De Luca, draws on her
own experiences of growing up as a third culture ‘Scotalian’
kid.
