Description

When a relationship expert's own marriage falls apart, she invites four strangers to Italy for a vacation of healing and second chances in this uplifting new novel from the author of The Messy Lives of Book People.

Ginny Splinter, acclaimed radio host and advice expert, prides herself on knowing what's best for others. So she's sure her husband, Adrian, will love the special trip to Italy she's planned for their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. But when Ginny presents the gift to Adrian, he surprises her with his own very different plan--a divorce.

Beside herself with heartache, Ginny impulsively invites four heartbroken listeners to join her in Italy instead while live on air. From hiking the hills of Bologna to riding a gondola in Venice to sharing stories around the dining table of the little Italian hotel, Ginny and her newfound company embark on a vacation of healing.

However, when Adrian starts to rethink their relationship, Ginny must decide whether to commit to her marriage or start afresh, alone. And an unexpected stranger may hold the key to a very different future... Sunny, tender and brimming with charm, The Little Italian Hotel explores marriage, identity and reclaiming the present moment--even if it means leaving the past behind.

Critical Reviews

"Phaedra Patrick has done it again with this absolute charmer of a novel. With keenly observed characters and Patrick's signature wit, The Little Italian Hotel celebrates the healing power of community and insists that it's never too late to bet on yourself. I loved this transportive, life-affirming novel." --Amy Meyerson, bestselling author of The Bookshop of Yesterdays

You'll wish you could join this delightful cast of characters in the cozy, welcoming Splendido hotel." --Amy E. Reichert, author of The Kindred Spirits Supper Club

"A heart-warming and life-affirming story of five heartbroken strangers trying to wade through on their own--and learning that sometimes all we need is each other.
