Kurzbeschreibung
New from the author of House of Daughters- an irresistible confection of love, loss, and Italian sweets in the delectable tradition of Chocolat
Corporate star Lily Turner abandons the boardrooms of Manhattan for the steep streets of Montevedova when she discovers her "perfect" husband, Daniel, has another family tucked away in the hills of Tuscany. Once there, her plight attracts the attention of the Secret League of Widowed Darners, an all-but-invisible army pulling strings behind the scenes to create happy endings. Soon founding members, Violetta and Luciana, are scheming to mend Lily's broken heart-and to enlist her help for their struggling pasticceria.
With the lush landscape of a sumptuous Tuscan summer in the background, and the tantalizing scent of fresh-baked cantucci in the air, Dolci di Love is the joyful celebration of a modern recipe for life.

Give me Tuscany immediately!!!!
5. April 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
I buy the books for a tiny bookshop in Arrowtown, New Zealand. We had a launch for this book a month ago and the author, Sarah-Kate Lynch was so funny and thought-provoking that the Q and A session went on FAR longer than we had planned.
As we expected, we sold a lot of books on the day, but what we hadn't expected was the huge sales since then. Everyone has been coming in buying copies on their friends' recommendations and some customers are going out with up to six copies to give away to friends who need a cheer up.
It's the perfect antidote to a bad day. Love, humour, baking and beautiful, beautiful Tuscan setting - there's so much to love about this tender, comic novel and the only downside is realising you are just going to HAVE to go to Tuscany yourself.

For any woman who has wanted desperately to have children only to find themselves unfathomably able to successfully bear even one, finding a photograph of your husband and a woman with 2 children who bear a similarity to him would surely be devastating. That's what Lily, career corporate woman extraordinaire had to face one morning in her husband's golf shoe.
She books a flight to Tuscany, rents a car and reserves a hotel room and heads off to Tuscany to hunt down her cheating husband. But when she gets there, she meets 2 old arthritic sisters who take her under their wing, and unbeknownst to her, are founders of a secret league of Italian widows who orchestrate love matches. She meets her husband's love child, his mistress and finally comes face to face with her husband.
The secret league of matchmaking widows provide some wonderfully humorous moments. Their conniving antics when they first try to force seemingly innocent meetings between Lily and Alessandro, the widower, and then later, discovering who Lily really is, trying to orchestrate a reconciliation, provide comedic situations.
Woven through the comedy though, is the very real pain of a woman who seeks to fill a haunting hole in her life.
A feel-good book that is perfect for a lazy day.
