Description
Memoir; life in Italy, grief and healing, women’s midlife memoir, expat life, Irish humor, found family, starting again, loss and love, Italy memoir, solo travel. Read as standalone, but better as part of the series.
Welcome back to Casa Anam Cara — where the Italian countryside is beautiful, the guests unpredictable, and the bureaucracy remains undefeated.
Rosie’s life in Italy continues with hosting fabulous midlife crisis retreats for women and writers, garden chaos, and a revolving door of creative visitors. Between unexpected animals who move in uninvited, magic holy doors, the frustration of Italian paperwork and guests staying, Rosie does her best to keep the house, and herself, upright.
But beneath the laughter, Aperol spritzes, and lakeside walks, life is shifting. Solo trips back to Ireland invoke memories, reflection, and heart-wrenching life decisions.
Told with warmth, sharp observation, and that uniquely Irish ability to find humour in the middle of everything, this is a humorous but heartfelt memoir about home, family, friendship, and discovering that love doesn’t disappear, it simply finds new ways to stay close.
Perfect for readers who love:
- humorous memoir
- immigrant (ex-pat) life in Italy
- cosy, character-driven nonfiction
- Irish wit with emotional depth
- Memories of living in Ireland
- books that feel like coming home
