The Italian Matchmaker Summary

The Italian Matchmaker by Santa Montefiore

Gianluca has to admit his life is empty. His high-pressure City job, his seven-figure income, his glossy girlfriends -- all have long ceased to satisfy him. His marriage is over and he barely knows his young daughters. In search of serenity and a deeper purpose to his existence, he flees to Italy, to the magical Palazzo Montelimone lovingly restored by his parents, to chill and to assess his future. But life on the sun-drenched Amalfi coast is not as peaceful as Luca anticipates. The palazzo is filled with his mother's eccentric friends and haunted by the ghosts of its murderous past. He meets a woman whose dark eyes are heavy with sorrow and a solemn little boy with an incredible secret. As he begins to unravel a mystery that has its roots in a long-ago act of violence, Luca is forced to face his greatest fear in exchange for the greatest truth.

The Italian Matchmaker Reviews

'This is quite simply a beautiful read and will make you believe again in love that conquers all' -- News of the World 'If you've finally got that longed for glass of chilled Prosecco ... now is the perfect time to read this gripping romance ... It is as believable as the writing is beautiful.' -- Telegraph 'Stunning setting, compelling storyline, powerful emotions - it's Santa Montefiore at her gloriously intoxicating best.' -- Daily Record 'Santa Montefiore does sweeping canvases of luxury life to a T' -- Daily Mail 'Deeply atmospheric.' -- Woman 'Montefiore's latest book, with its supernatural plotline, is a departure from her usual stuff. However, fans will be relieved that all her other ingredients are present and correct: the exotic setting, the beautiful ... characters and lashings of romance.' -- Londonlite 'Both a love story and a ghost story wrapped in Italian sunshine' -- Choice 'This would be a great summer holiday read, or alternatively curled up in front of the fire dreaming of summer days - with a nice glass of Italian wine, naturally. It's an uplifting, page turning yarn and good escapism - and as the nights get longer, who doesn't want a bit of that?' -- thebookbag.co.uk
