![]() ![]() ![]() Laura Wood even started my love for Eva Ibbotson's books and I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith, which I'll forever be grateful for. It was my perfect idea of a book: historical fiction, with a romance to die for and a female heroine it was impossible not to fall in love with. I read Laura Wood's debut YA, A Sky Painted Gold, earlier in 2019 and fell in love with it. Every summer has to end - but for Bea, this might be just the beginning. With their new friends gleefully setting the rules for their fling, Bea and Ben can agree on one thing at least: they absolutely, positively will not, cannot fall in love.Ī long, hot summer of kisses and mischief unfolds - but storm clouds are gathering across Europe, and home is calling. Sparks fly between the quick-witted pair until one night, under the stars, a challenge is set: can Bea and Ben put aside their teasing and have the perfect summer romance? When she gets the chance to spend the summer in Italy with her bohemian uncle and his fiancée, a whole world is opened up to Bea - a world that includes Ben, a cocky young artist who just happens to be infuriatingly handsome too. But she longs for so much more - for adventure, excitement, travel, and maybe even romance. In grey, 1930s England, Bea has grown up kicking against the conventions of the time, all the while knowing that she will one day have to marry someone her parents choose - someone rich enough to keep the family estate alive. ![]()
