One Italian Summer, by best-selling author Rebecca Serle, combines romance and mother-daughter issues. Katy Silver and her mother plan a trip to Italy, where her mother spent some time when she was about Katy’s age. But then Katy’s mother dies shortly before the scheduled trip. Katy’s devastated, and harbors uncertainties about her own marriage, so she decides she’ll go on the trip herself, alone. And when arrives, she meets someone who seems remarkably like her mother, as well as a handsome unmarried American there on business. Lots of scenery, food, wine, clothes, flirting, and soul-searching. Well-executed chick lit that’s on best-seller lists for a reason. Here’s what Kirkus Reviews says:
