About this listen

Live your dream of Italy...

Here is your chance to buy your own home in southern Italy for less than the price of a cup of coffee. The picturesque mountain town of Montenello is selling off some of its historic buildings for just ONE EURO each. The only conditions are that purchasers must renovate their new home within the next three years and that they plan to contribute in a meaningful way to this small community.

To be considered as a future resident of Montenello contact the town's mayor, Augusto Rossi. Live your dream of Italy for just one euro.

When the Mayor of a picturesque Italian town launches a new scheme to rejuvenate the community, his advertisement is read with interest and excitement by many. Zara is in her thirties and desperate to get on the property ladder. Tim and Lynda are retiring and need a project. Some are looking for a peaceful bolthole. Others hope to make a profit, start a business, escape a dull life or an unhappy relationship. And there is someone who just might be hiding their true motivation...

Their lives are about to change forever - but can they make their dream of Italy into a reality? A deliciously escapist summer read.

I loved this book. A town in Italy that is falling apart, a mayor who wants to bring in new people. A group of people from all different walks of life whose stories unfold. I loved all the characters and it is a heartwarming story.

Perfect easy-listening, undemanding read. It was easy to imagine and escape to one of those pretty, ancient hill top towns you see in Italy, and the descriptions were evocative.. The story was pleasant and enjoyable and beautifully performed.

Nice easy listening 'Escape'

Really enjoyed the story but felt that the ending was a bit rushed and could have been expanded more. As always Nicky Pelligrino’s work is enjoyable.
