I found the title misleading- in fact I double checked that I hadn’t accidentally clicked on the wrong book!! Most of the events do not take place in Venice, and actually visit Lisbon and Prague as well.
That being said, this was a very enjoyable read. Characters were well crafted and as a reader I cared about each of them. There was also some very funny/unfortunate meetings from a dating website...
The descriptions of Venice,Lisbon and Prague were vivid and evocative, showing real skill and attention to detail. Made me wish I could go back for a city break myself!
This book has romance, mystery, a forgotten love story and a realistic portrayal of the importance of family bonds.
Highly recommended for a summer read!

Oh, I loved this story. It grabbed my attention from the very first page and didn't let it go till the last. With wonderful plot lines which just kept me guessing throughout, twists and turns I didn't see coming, it was a riveting read. It was a really beautiful tale and I just had to know what happened. The mixture of the old and the new story combined really gave this story a different feel.

The characters in the book are great, well written and easy to like. I wanted to know where the story would take them and how their various lives would collide. I really wasn't disappointed.

This is the second book of Rosanna Ley's I have read and like the first, this one was a fantastic read. I highly recommend it.

This book would be an ideal holiday read.

Unputdownable, I read this in a day.

Joanna comes home to her sister Harriet and her mum, not really revealing why and what’s happened.

When she goes up to the loft to see how much space is up there and if it can be converted, in a trunk she discovers some love letters, written by someone called Emmy.

She’s intrigued and this then sets her on an adventure she didn’t expect to find out as much as she can “who is Emmy or was”.

Enjoyable Read

With thanks to netgalley for an early copy in return for an honest review
Fabulous Author and outstanding intriguing book a total delight to read.

A wonderful trip through three European cities with letters and clues to guide you. There’s a lovely thread of interweaving memories throughout and it’s a sure fire winner for Rosanna who writes such immersive novels.

Full review to come but I had to give it five stars now!
