PRAISE FOR LOVE & ROME 'Love & Rome is such an enjoyable, timeless read and I found myself transported to Rome where I could almost smell the food on the street. This is a wonderful romantic novel about healing and reinvention and the passionate search for a true soulful love. Coloured beautifully by a world of food and art this is the perfect holiday read, especially if you love all things Italian. If you can't manage a romantic trip to Rome right now then this novel is the next best thing.' PIA MIRANDA
