Girl By Sea

A book about life and food on an Italian island. The conclusion to Penelope Green s bestselling trilogy about her life in Italy that began with WHEN IN ROME then SEE NAPLES AND DIE.

From her rooftop terrace, Penelope Green looks out across the sparkling waters of the Bay of Naples, and into a garden of lemon trees and magnolias. Has her Italian dream come true?

Imagine catching a ferry home and stepping onto a waterfront lined with multicoloured buildings, busy with fishing boats and couples strolling to their favourite caf .

For Penny and her Italian love, Alfonso, the idyllic island of Procida can offer the life they are looking for. But first Penny has to find a way into its tight community. One thing she has in common with the locals is a love of food, so she sets herself a goal to master the Procidan cuisine and become more than just a visitor.

Across kitchen tables, in bustling caf s, and over long lunches under vine-covered pergolas, Penny learns the art of Italian cooking, builds friendships, and discovers the rhythms and secrets of island life.
