Opis

On a tiny island off the coast of Italy, live the Esposito family - spirited and chaotic, they have been running the bar, the House at the Edge of Night, for almost a century. As the island withstands a century of turmoil, transformed in ways both big and small by war, the House at the Edge of Night remains at the heart of the community.

Recenzje

Sensual attention to detail builds a world of bougainvillea terraces serving limoncello - to say it's atmospheric would be an understatement. Ten years ago, my top holiday read was Victoria Hislop's The Island; this summer's great escape belongs to Catherine Banner - utterly mesmerising from start to finish, even if you're nowhere near a sun lounger.
