Summary

A bundle of mysterious letters. A trip to Venice. A journey she’ll never forget.

When Luna loses her beloved mother, she’s bereft: her mother was her only family, and without her Luna feels rootless. Then the chance discovery of a collection of letters in her mother’s belongings sends her on an unexpected journey.

Following a clue in the letters, Luna packs her bags and heads to Venice, to a gorgeous but faded bookshop overlooking the canals, hoping to uncover the truth about her mother’s mysterious past.

Will Luna find the answers she’s looking for – and finally find the place she belongs?

Wow! Absolutely loved this book!

This story had me hooked from start to finish. I really cared about the characters and what happened to them, and I still do! I’ve loved all of Rebecca’s books, but this is my favourite so far and I highly recommend it. It will certainly go to the top of my absolute all-time favourite books. If I could, I would give it 10 stars.

Lovely story.

It was a bit long winded for the first few chapters but I am so glad I carried on with it. It was sad in places but also a wonderful story of friendship and love (the two most wonderful things you can have in life).
