Book description
A mouth-watering novel about love, food, heartbreak . . . and Venice.
Eating means everything to Connie Farrell, she's a restaurant critic
after all, so when her husband Tom fails to turn up on their second
honeymoon in fairytale Venice she's rattled but she doesn't exactly lose
her appetite. Quite the opposite, you could say. Handsome gondolier
Marco awakes a hunger in her and sates it with all manner of
mouth-watering delicacies, including himself. But Connie also has a
hankering for something with a bit more zest, something muscled and
tanned with silver hair and an honest heart going by the name of Luca.
All second honeymoons should be so sweet! Back home in New York,
however, there's more than amore on Connie's plate and none of it to her
taste. Her husband is gone, her lover is a stranger, her mother is
disappointed. Connie has lost sight of the simple things in life but can
the cruellest of blows bring them back? Or is it too late? Sarah-Kate
Lynch has published many hugely popular novels, plus a non-fiction book.

a review of her novel By Bread Alone: 'Witty, charming, faithfully
passionate to its subject and emotionally adept. If only this book was a
man.'She lives with her husband and her dog but she's often not sure
where - and she likes it that way.
