Summer School by Domenica De Rosa
Love, rivalry, and writing in a Tuscan paradise. Relax. Indulge. And discover the writer within...Patricia Wilson's carefully composed ads for the writers' retreat she runs at her thirteenth-century Italian castle promise so much. But while the splendour of their surroundings and chef Aldo's melanzane never fail to wow the guests, huge maintenance bills and bad news from the bank threaten to close Patricia down. It's make or break time for the Castello. Each of her seven aspiring authors arrives with the inevitable baggage alongside their unpublished manuscripts. But this August something is different, and soon lifelong spinster Mary is riding on the back of Aldo's vespa, and smouldering odd-job man Fabio has set more than one heart racing. Even tutor Jeremy is distracted from his pursuit of the prettiest student - by another guest's writing. As temperatures rise, the writers gossip, flirt and gently polish their prose by the pool. But with ghosts, scorpions, and some unexpected visitors to contend with, one thing's for sure: neither the Castello, nor Patricia, has ever seen a summer like this.
Domenica de Rosa started her career working at the Bookseller, and went on to work in children's publishing, in publicity and in editorial. She lives in Brighton with her husband and their twins.
