A Rosie Life In Italy 2: What Have We Done?

Rosie only went out for bananas. She came home having bought a 22-room derelict villa in Italy.

Her children have flown the nest and the pandemic has flattened her business, so moving into her dream renovation project by Christmas Eve seems like the obvious next step. Italy and villa have other plans.

Within weeks the project manager has gone AWOL, the windows have started disappearing, water is pouring down the stairs and there is no heating. Rosie speaks no Italian, so she takes charge of the builders with a translation app and a lot of hand-waving, while mystery holes keep appearing in the garden.

As Christmas Eve gets closer and the move-in date looks more laughable than doable, Rosie begins to wonder if she was mad to chase her fabulous midlife crisis dream.

For anyone who has ever dreamed of moving to Italy or running away to an old house in the sun.
