Summary

A New York Times bestseller

A Wall Street Journal bestseller

One summer in Sicily, Marlena de Blasi entered a world of unforgettable magic when she discovered the secret Sicilian villa of Donnafugata. There, life was ruled by ritual and by an unassailable seventy-year-old matriarch and protectress, Tosca.

Willowy and aloof, with an aura of a distant time, Tosca was a woman whose life story begged to be told. In the warmth of Tosca’s garden, Marlena would receive bountiful lessons of life and love as the story of Tosca’s fairy-tale romance with an Italian prince unfolded.

Editorial Reviews

“The great Marlena de Blasi writes fairy tales for grownups.” —Adriana Trigiani, New York Times bestselling author

“This book reads like a suspense novel complete with a surprise ending, and though Tosca’s story is compelling, it’s in de Blasi’s telling of it that the true magic lies.” —Publishers Weekly

“Marlena de Blasi’s That Summer in Sicily leaves you both enthralled and cynically envious…A joyous beach or backyard read that could transport you to distant climes.” —Barnes & Noble, editorial review

“Enthralling…A love story that embraces the culture and character of Sicily.” —Library Journal

“An extraordinary tale of passion and love stretching over decades of the twentieth century. Admirers of this author will relish her latest volume.” —Booklist

“[A] fragrant tale of life and love in the mountains of Sicily…Swift, sinuous, deep, and brimming with cultural artifacts.” —Kirkus Reviews
