For The Love Of Lemons

Isla Harper was widowed at thirty, and for four years she has lived alone in a Chicago house full of her husband’s things.

When a lawyer’s letter arrives from Sicily, she leaves it on the kitchen counter for a month. A great-aunt she barely remembers has left her a centuries-old stone villa, and the will comes with a condition. Isla must live there for a year, and until the year is out she can’t sell it or leave the island.

Two days before her flight, she stands in the rain at her husband’s grave and tells him where she’ll be. She walks away with her grief and, beside it, something new that doesn’t have a name yet.
