Wedding planner Rosie is struggling with her grey, rain-soaked life in Ireland. Everyone dismisses her long-term dream to live in Italy as another 'mad hippy whim.' While she's busy planning other people's happy endings, grief, eviction and debt nip at her heels. Trying to stabilise her life as an entrepreneur in the middle of an economic crash is almost impossible. When her landlord suddenly doubles the rent, Rosie is left with no choice but to pack up her family, two dogs and possessions into a 20-year-old camper van and head off in search of her own happy ending in sunny Italy. She soon discovers integrating into life in a new country isn't as easy as it looks on TV programs such as 'Escape to the Chateau', especially when the language is a minefield of accidental sexual innuendo. And trying to buy an abandoned villa in Umbria from eight crazy cousins with a longstanding family battle bubbling under the surface doesn't make it any easier. While Rosie is determined to create the perfect life for her family in Italy, despite a hurricane, a raucous family dispute and a little thing called a global pandemic to top it all off, she begins to realise that the Italian dream may be too big for her. A real mid-life adventure about moving to Italy and following a dream of restoring a derelict villa, which will make you laugh out loud with every page turn and sob into your tea at the same time!
