My Review:
I love a good home renovation story and love it even more when the renovation includes a character “renovating” her life. This is exactly what I found in Far From Home by T.A. Williams. I read this charming armchair travel in a day and a half and was sorry when it ended because I wanted to stay in Italy with Amy, her wonderful black Lab Max and all of her new friends and found family in the Italian village of Sant Antonio.
The mystery surrounding Amy’s surprise inheritance pulled me right into the story and was fascinating to follow throughout. I loved the descriptions of the beautiful village and felt like I was there, taking long walks with Amy and Max. And the house renovation descriptions were wonderful as well. I could easily visualize this big, old house getting the love and attention it needed–much like Amy herself. The light romance was uplifting and made me sigh when I closed the book. This was my first book by T.A. Williams and it certainly won’t be my last. What a lovely summer reading treat!
About the Author:
“I’m a man. And a pretty old man as well. I studied languages at university a long time ago and then lived and worked in France and Switzerland before going to Italy for seven years as a teacher of English. My Italian wife and I then came back to the UK with our little daughter (now long since grown up) where I ran a big English language school for many years. We now live in a sleepy little village in Devonshire. I’ve been writing almost all my life, but it was only ten years ago that I finally managed to find a publisher who liked my work enough to offer me my first contract.
The fact that I am now writing escapist romance is something I still find hard to explain. My early books were thrillers and historical novels, and I now also write cozy crime, but my first love has always been romance. Maybe it’s because there are so many horrible things happening in the world today that I feel I need to do my best to provide something to cheer my readers up. My books provide escapism to some gorgeous locations and descriptions of food to make you drool. “
