'Witty and light as a tiramisu but with tart insight on sibling rivalry' Nottingham Evening Post
Gaby, the youngest of the de Angelis sisters, always knew she was her father Enzo's favourite; so when Enzo dies on the day her own daughter is born, her life is turned upside down.
In the emotional aftermath of the funeral, it emerges that her father has asked that his ashes be taken back to his native city, Rome. Suddenly, Gaby and her new family are thrown headlong into the wider de Angelis clan with all of their conflicting ideas and opinions.
As the family journeys to Rome to say a final goodbye to Enzo, emotions run high; but none higher than Gaby's, as she comes face to face with the man she once thought she would marry.
