Book description
A Richard Curtis film in book form - the perfect book to curl up with
on a long winter's evening. Now with a bonus sample chapter extracted
from Harriet's new book!
Tess Tennant is moving away from London to the sleepy picture-perfect
town where she grew up, to teach at the illustrious Langford College.
She finds a cottage to share with a burnt-out city lawyer called
Francesca. Around the corner is her childhood best friend Adam, who
she's always loved like a brother …
Rural life isn't quite how Tess remembers it. Bored, she returns to
London for a big night out with Adam but it all ends in tears.
Heartbroken and heartsick,Tess has to take her class on a trip to Rome
to visit the classical monuments, and she's in the mood to be reckless.
Rome in May is beautiful, filled with the scent of jasmine and warm
sunshine, and soon Tess is being swept off her feet by a charming
stranger who takes her round the city for a magical week and she soon
forgets the complicated problems waiting for her at home.
But when she does return to Langford,Tess finds a note from Adam saying
he's leaving for a while. What happened between them when they were
young? And what is the secret of his mysterious past?
