Unexpected romance blossoms on a trip to the Aeolian Islands in this funny and touching debut novel, Jake Jones - young, gay and party-loving - lets the offer of a free trip accompanying an unknown older woman to Italy lure him away from the London scene. His first meeting with the formidable Eva Bergstrom gets them off on the wrong footing - but as the holiday continues a spiky friendship starts to grow between the couple.
