About this audiobook
For sale: historic building in the picturesque town of Montenello, southern Italy.
Asking price: 1 Euro.
Cloudless skies, sun-soaked countryside, delicious food...
In the drowsy heat of an Italian summer, four strangers arrive in a beautiful town nestled in the mountains of Basilicata, dreaming of a new adventure. An innovative scheme by the town's Mayor has given them the chance to buy a crumbling historic building for a single euro — on the condition that they renovate their home within three years and help to bring new life to the close-knit local community.
Elise is desperate to get on the property ladder. Edward wants to escape a life he feels suffocated by. Mimi is determined to start afresh after her divorce. And there's one new arrival whose true motives are yet to be revealed....
For each of them, Montenello offers a different promise of happiness. But can they turn their dream of Italy into reality?
A deliciously escapist summer listen, perfect for fans of Jo Thomas.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5since I live in Italy, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and easily visualized this town and its story of love
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is the perfect one to listen to with a cup of coffee and a plate of cake in hand. It was easy for me to put myself in the story. The writers' style is languid and made me want to have my own Italian adventure. I liked the very real issues that were brought up of what it means to buy a home sight unseen, and each character's reasons for coming to Italy were very relatable.
