ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"One Italian Summer" by Rebecca Serle tells the story of Katy, a woman grappling with the recent loss of her mother, Carol, who was also her best friend. Katy embarks on a solo trip to Positano, Italy, a place her mother had always described as magical, intending to take a mother-daughter trip they had planned together. In Positano, Katy finds herself unexpectedly navigating a complex web of relationships, past secrets and a journey of self-discovery. She meets a younger version of her mother, Carol, and begins to see her not just as a mother, but as a woman with her own life, desires and secrets. The narrative explores themes of grief, love, identity, and the complexities of mother-daughter relationships, interwoven with elements of time travel and the question of fate versus free will. Katy is also forced to confront her own marriage and feelings for another man, as she reevaluates the life that she has built, and what direction to take next.
