You can always rely on Rosanna Ley to create a good story against a stunning background.

Quite poignant this one. A daughter finds out the truth behind her mum's love of Seville. A recipe gives a clue to the past. Holly the daughter goes out to find her way, a new job, and finds a new relationship with her mum at the same time. Then the past comes back to share its secrets...

Rosanna =a lovely story. I have since had to buy orange juice and lemon drizzle cake to get my citrus fix though.

Another stunning book by Rosanna. This book contains smaller stories that are intertwined as we learn the characters own stories. At a time when we are unable to take holidays, this cleverly written book gives you a sense of being there among the orange trees in Seville.

What a wonderful book!
Holly decides to pack in her job and start a new career, running a shop that imports everything orange from Seville. She decides to pay a visit to this wonderful city to meet suppliers and asks her mother Ella to go with her. Ella is reluctant to return to Seville a city she last visited nearly 30 years ago. As the book unfolds, we learn why and how the future is shaped by events of the past. Not only in Spain but at home as well.
I loved this book - partly because Seville is one of my favourite cities and I recognised so many of the places, and the spirit of the city in Rosanna's writing. As well as describing Seville, Rosanna also writes about the food, the history, the people, the flamenco! You are there, in a bar in Triana, you can smell the orange blossom.

We all need to travel in our minds and our hearts at the moment, and Rosanna takes you right into the sunny, scented heart of Seville. If you want a romantic story with beautiful descriptions of place and food, this is for you. You will want to visit Seville!
My only complaint is that there isn't a recipe for the Seville orange and almond cake - but I suppose it's a family secret.

With thanks to netgalley and rosanna ley fir an early copy in return for an honest opinion.
Having read all of this authors books I was delighted to read her new book, a family saga that will take some sorting out emotions run deep for Holly's mum can they work it out an excellent read and highly intriguing really enjoyed it.

Holly is ready to quit her job and leave the noise and commotion of the city behind. She wants to realize her dream of moving home to Dorset to make the marmalade she so adored when she was younger. She needs to travel to Seville to source the oranges that will go into her products at Bitter Orange. Holly is shocked when her mother, who has always loved Seville, refuses to go along on the venture. Ella has kept some big secrets from Holly, and returning to Seville will bring them all to light. Will mother and daughter be able to face the past and find a way to a happier future?
