Escape into the serene farm house in Sorrento with Summer in Sorrento by Melissa Hill. I managed to grab a free copy of this short story from B&N two weeks ago and finally sat down and finished it. There are actually three different stories in this book based on the different guests of Villa Azalea.
Firstly, we have the handsome New Yorker, Jacob, who seemed to be troubled over his ailing father. Next up we get Amelia, a London girl who is attending the wedding of her ex-fiancé. Lastly we have Lori and Hal, who were revisiting their Honeymoon in Sorrento.
Each of the character had some troubling stuffs with them and Maia, the hostess of Villa Azalea, had managed to talk to them and gave them advices. Everyone managed to leave the farmhouse a happy person.
As this is a short story of about 60 pages, I find that we managed to get a good and clear image of Maia, the main character, in this book. I loved how she used her own experience to open up the heart of her guest and how they became her friend and their lives intertwined with each other during their stay at the farmhouse.
I am hoping that Melissa Hill would continue this short story in a full length novel where we can see more of Villa Azalea and Maia. I would definitely be interested to know if Maia will be able to find her second love in Sorrento.
