Escape to a beautiful Italian island with this wonderfully romantic story, threaded with secrets and intrigue. When Alessia accompanies her Italian grandmother, Ornella, on a trip to the beautiful island of Ischia, she’s amazed to discover Ornella worked on the set of the 1950s movie, Castello D’Amore. Getting to know charismatic journalist Roberto, Alessia starts to suspect a link between the film set and the untimely death of Ornella’s teenage sister Maria. As Roberto digs deeper, Alessia is torn between helping the man she is falling in love with and guarding her grandmother’s secrets. Ornella hopes a return to the place where she and Maria grew up will help her come to terms with her past. But preparing for the village festa isn’t enough to distract her from memories of her lost love, and the guilt she feels at failing to keep the promises she made. Is it time to reveal the truth that’s been hidden for so many years?

After London born university student Sarah Stevenson returns from an enjoyable holiday in hot, sunny Crete, with Tony Hamilton, her Anglo-American student boyfriend, she seriously considers upping sticks and moving there. However, it is a further three years until they can afford another holiday and that happens after Sarah becomes a geography teacher in a middle school, and Tony qualifies as a neuroscientist; There second holiday together, this time to a beautiful but failing Italian island, is to change the course of both their young lives. And it begins when Sarah hears from the mayor that the island will be a 'ghost' island within ten years because its population is diminishing rapidly that she resigns from her teaching job to help save it. Despite a group of inhospitable locals on her back, who protest vigorously when she tells them she intends selling hundreds of abandoned properties to foreigners for the token price of one euro per dwelling, and importing migrant labour to do the restoration work, she eventually wins through.

My darling girl, don't make the same mistakes as I did. Now that my life is coming to an end, take your grandmother's bracelet, unlock the secret of our family history, and discover who you are... As the hazy sun sets on golden sand, twenty-year-old Annie arrives on the stunning Sicilian island of Galatea, her father's final wish playing heavy on her heart: she must solve the mystery of her grandmother who disappeared during World War Two. Her only clues are the delicate gold band around her wrist and directions to Villa Onda - House of the Waves - where her grandmother once lived. As she climbs the winding road up to the cliffside villa, Annie's path collides with handsome local fisherman, Salvo. His sea-blue eyes sparkle with recognition at her bracelet, and Annie can't tell if it's his warm touch or the sun-kissed villa's vine-covered splendour that takes her breath away. Swept into the warm arms of Salvo's family, it's not long before she finds herself dancing the night away in the cobbled piazza and finally beginning to heal. But one afternoon she finds an antique gramophone hidden beneath a dusty sheet in her grandmother's bedroom. Setting the needle, she unlocks a long-buried secret... And, through Salvo's mother, starts to unravel the truth about the bracelet and her grandmother's heart-shattering wartime sacrifice. With Salvo's first kiss lingering on her lips, Annie knows she must dig deeper into the scars that haunt this beautiful island. But can her fragile new-found love with Salvo survive uncovering the truth? Will she ever be able to move on with her life until she does?

A 17th century Italian nobleman is marooned on an empty ship in this “astonishing intellectual journey" by the author of Foucault’s Pendulum (San Francisco Chronicle). In the year 1643, a violent storm in the South Pacific leaves Roberto della Griva shipwrecked—on a ship. Swept from the Amaryllis, he has managed to pull himself aboard the Daphne, anchored in the bay of a beautiful island. The ship is fully provisioned, he discovers, but the crew is missing. As Roberto explores the different cabinets in the hold, he looks back on various episodes from his life: Ferrante, his imaginary evil brother; the siege of Casale, that meaningless chess move in the Thirty Years' War in which he lost his father and his illusions; and the lessons given him on Reasons of State, fencing, the writing of love letters, and blasphemy. In this “intellectually stimulating and dramatically intriguing” novel, Umberto Eco conjures a young dreamer searching for love and meaning; and an old Jesuit who, with his clocks and maps, has plumbed the secrets of longitudes, the four moons of Jupiter, and the Flood (Chicago Tribune).
