Confetti and Lemon Blossom (Sicilian Stories) by Stefania Hartley (3 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

Ten short stories perfect for your coffee break. For Don Pericle, wedding organising is a calling, not just a career. Deep in the Sicilian countryside, between rose gardens and trellised balconies, up marble staircases and across damasked ballrooms, these charming stories unfold: stories of star-crossed love, of comedic misunderstandings and of deep friendships, of love triumphing in the face of adversity. To these brides and grooms-to-be, Don Pericle becomes a guru, a mentor, even a friend, solving problems, untangling knots, rearranging menus and transforming lives. Fishmongers and Ferrari drivers, dressmakers and divorcees, gardeners and grandmothers: within the walls of Villa Lingualarga, all are offered a new chance at understanding each other - and maybe even finding true love. Praise for Confetti and Lemon Blossom: A super read, and we all enjoyed the quirky, insightful style of storytelling -- The People's Friend editorial team What a lovely story - so sweet and funny. Don Pericle is such an interesting character - we all need someone like that in our lives! -- Ewan Smith, author of pocket novels, short stories and poems While there may be ups and downs, mishaps and misplacements in each wedding scenario, the basis of the entire book are love and relationships, which makes this a sweet and heartwarming book. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a relationship story, or collection of relationship stories from a slightly different perspective." -- LoveReading Ambassador
