Publisher's Synopsis
For twenty-five years, Stella has been the trusted assistant to a legendary fashion designer - but after her boss dies suddenly, she's left with nothing to do but clear the studio. Then one day she finds a house-swap website and sees a beautiful old villa in a southern Italian village. Could she really exchange her poky London flat for that? What was intended as just a break becomes much more, and Stella finds herself trying on a stranger's life. As the villa begins to get under her skin, she can't help but imagine the owner from the clues around her. She meets his friends, cooks the food he recommends, and follows suggestions to visit his favourite places. But can an idea of someone ever match up to the reality?
