A true feast for the senses Jenny Ashcroft, author of Beneath a Burning Sky The scent of freshly baked biscuits, lemon and aniseed reminds Elettra of her mothers kitchen. But her mother is in a coma, and the family bakery is failing. Elettra is distraught; she has many unanswered questions about her mothers childhood - Edda was a secretive woman. The only clue is a family heirloom: a necklace inscribed with the name of an island. Elettra buys a one-way ticket to that island, just off the coast of Sardinia. Once there, she discovers a community of women, each lost in their own way. They live in a crumbling convent, under threat from the local mayor and his new development plan. It is within the convents dark corridors and behind its secret doors that Elettra discovers a connection to her mothers past. She also falls in love again: with friendship, baking and adventure. ____________ Readers love The Little Italian Bakery : This book is like a refreshing shot of limoncello; zesty, fresh and mouthwatering!
