Why read it?
1 author picked The House by the Sea as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Set in both Devon and Tuscany—this is my perfect book! I loved the historic story of Floriana growing up near the beautiful villa in Tuscany, and it tied in so well with the modern-day story as well. As always Santa’s books are well crafted and a total joy to read, transporting you to the locations with her evocative descriptions. This makes a fabulous holiday read, and I have recommended it to many family and friends.
From Anna's list on transporting you to the magic of Italy.
