Lizzie & Dante by Mary Bly – Free eBooks Download
Description:
The insightful, audacious, and deeply romantic story of a woman whose life turns upside down after she meets an enigmatic chef on vacation in Italy–perfect for fans of Beautiful Ruins or Under the Tuscan Sun.
On the heels of a difficult break-up and a devastating diagnosis, Shakespearian scholar Lizzie Delford decides to take one last lavish vacation on Elba, the sun-kissed island off the Italian coast, with her best friend and his movie-star boyfriend. Once settled into a luxurious seaside resort, Lizzie has to make big decisions about her future, and she needs the one thing she may be running out of: time.
She leaves the yacht-owners and celebrities behind and sneaks off to the public beach, where she meets a sardonic chef named Dante, his battered dog Lily, and his wry daughter Etta, a twelve-year-old desperate for a mother. While Dante shows Lizzie the island’s secrets, and Etta dazzles with her irreverent humor, Lizzie is confronted with a dilemma. Is it right to fall in love if time is short? Is it better to find a mother briefly, or to have no mother at all? And the most difficult question of all: What if falling in love inevitably leads to broken hearts?
A transporting, all-consuming story about love, courage, and Italian wine, Lizzie & Dante demands to know how far we should travel to find a future worth fighting for.

“I’m so excited about Lizzie & Dante publishing next Tuesday on June 1st!
Many of you have asked where I got the idea to write a novel set on an Italian island, rather than a Regency ballroom, so here’s my answer: my husband Alessandro is Italian, and we have taken our children to the island of Elba every summer since they were babies (including this summer!). One day a few years ago we walked into a weather-beaten courtyard restaurant and ate one of the best meals of my life. Lizzie & Dante weaves echoes of my life throughout: I’m a Shakespeare professor, married to an Italian, who walked into the same restaurant that Lizzie does.”
