What to expect
From the author of the Seven Sisters series, Lucinda Riley's The Italian Girl takes you from the back streets of Naples to the world's finest opera houses on a poignant, unforgettable journey of love, betrayal and self-discovery.
Read by Yolanda Kettle (Philippa Gregory's The Queen's Fool)
Nothing sings as sweetly as love, or burns quite like betrayal.
Rosanna Menici is just a girl when she meets Roberto Rossini – the man who will change her life. In the years that follow, their destinies will be bound together – both for their extraordinary talents as opera singers, and by their enduring but obsessive love.
Their love will ultimately affect the lives of all those closest to them. For, as Rosanna slowly discovers, their union is haunted – haunted by irreversible events of the past . . .
Praise for Lucinda Riley:
'A masterclass in beautiful writing' – The Sun
'Captivating . . . poignant yet uplifting' – Woman's Own
'Utterly enchanting . . . Prepared to be intrigued, moved to tears and ultimately uplifted' – Lancashire Evening Post
A version of this story has previously been published under the title Aria, under the name Lucinda Edmonds – now extensively rewritten as The Italian Girl.
