Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend me an easy read, uplifting book please?

My lovely mum has just been diagnosed with cancer and is very swiftly becoming very unwell.

I'm an avid reader and need a book to help me in the quiet moments, but I can't concentrate on much, and every book I've begun recently has death or sadness in it.

I appreciate any recommendations.

Thank you

Possibly a Louise Douglas book?

The Secret of Villa Alba is about a woman trying to track down what happened to her relative. It’s a mystery set largely in Italy and has a great sense of place.
