Book 1 in the series is about what brought Rosie to Italy, moving and buying the house during Covid. It is a prequel to the renovation of the villa and the book was so popular that after four years it was bought by Sourcebooks. It is available through bookshops, libraries and online audio stores.

With a new roof and working electrics in place, Rosie is ready for the next phase of turning the 22-roomed derelict Italian villa into a home. It needs to be ready in time for her elderly Irish parents to move in, and her daughter to finally visit after being separated for so long.

Having three generations of her family living under the same roof was once part of the Italian dream for Rosie. But when her party-loving, whiskey-drinking, poker-playing 85-year-old mother moves over from Ireland to Italy, Rosie’s longed for dolce vita in Umbria is anything but sweet.

With both her kids now living in different countries and the funds to finish renovations going AWOL, Rosie is starting to suspect that the Sighing House might be a tad too big for just her and hubby Ronan.

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.

After four years of renovations, grief and chaos, Rosie and Ronan’s dream home in Italy is finally coming together—or so they hope. Whether it’s the last remnants of a housebound ghost or renovation fatigue, something seems to be draining their energy.
