Publisher's Summary
What do you do when your adult kids fly the nest and you are having a midlife crisis during a global pandemic? You buy a 22 room derelict villa in Italy while grocery shopping of course. Well, that is what Rosie did.
Buying the house was an accident. She only went out for bananas.
Rosie embarks on renovating her 22 room "new" home in Italy with a non-negotiable move-in date of Christmas Eve. Surrounded by a cast of interesting characters, the Irish woman learns the Italian way of life and house renovating in the country she wants to call home. But when the project manager goes AWOL, non-Italian speaking Rosie has no option but to take control with the help of a translation app.
With no heating, windows disappearing, mystery holes in the garden, water flooding down the stairs, a pandemic destroyed business and with a move-in date that seems more laughable than doable, Rosie begins to question if she was crazy to follow through on her fabulous midlife crisis dream of renovating a villa in Italy.

Lovely, engaging story!
This is a lovely story about the trials and tribulations of an Irish family’s move to live in Umbria in Italy. Told with humour and in a very engaging self deprecating way. Looking forward to the next instalment… book No 3!

interesting and funny
Liked hearing about the pandemic from a different country and perspective. The relationship with the tradies is interesting.

Fabulous
Loved your adventure creating a new life in Italy and restoring your house. My husband and I have been restoring my ancestral home in Northern Italy. I can relate to all the obstacles and the ‘relaxed’ approach from trades people and the lost ‘in translation’ communication. We’ve learnt to just go with the flow and have our 3 hour lunch breaks.😂 We’ve had the house for 12 years now and not close to finished as we live on the other side of the planet and can only make it over 3 months of the year as we are not retired yet. It’s lovely visiting the house each time……but the resident bats don’t appreciate our visit. Thank you again and I’m looking forward to your next book. Maddie
