Summer School Hardcover Domenica De Rosa

Patricia Wilson's carefully composed ads for the writers' retreat she runs at her thirteenth century castle promise so much. But while the splendour of their surroundings and chef Aldo's melanzane never fail to wow the guests, huge maintence bills and bad news from the bank threatens to close Patricia down. Its make or break 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Each of her seven aspiring authors arrives with the inevitable baggage alongside their unpublished manuscripts.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 spinister 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.
