Lillian and the Italians cover

In 1960s Italy, an English widow searches for her son, uncovering secrets and forging a dangerous romance in Lillian and the Italians.

Set against the enchanting backdrop of 1960s Italy, Lillian and the Italians follows the journey of Lillian Rutherford, an English widow searching for her wayward son, Andrew. As she navigates through the beautiful yet tumultuous landscapes of Venice and Amalfi, Lillian encounters unexpected revelations that challenge her perceptions of family and love. Her quest leads her to meet an ex-gigolo who reveals startling truths about Andrew's life, forcing her to confront a side of her son she never knew existed.

In Venice, Lillian's encounter with the ex-gigolo opens a Pandora's box of emotions and memories, pushing her to reflect on her own choices and the complexities of motherhood. Her journey takes a thrilling turn when she meets Prince Massimo Monfalcone in Amalfi, a charismatic figure whose own tragic past is intertwined with the fate of their sons. As they wait for news about Andrew and the Prince's son, who is being held for ransom in Corsica, a deep bond begins to form between them, blending danger with unexpected romance.

Lillian and the Italians beautifully captures the essence of love, loss, and the search for connection in a world filled with uncertainty. Lillian's story is not just about finding her son; it is also about discovering herself and the possibility of new beginnings, even in the face of adversity.
