Raffaella Moretti, by far the most beautiful girl in the southern Italian town of Triento, is about to marry the only boy she has ever loved. It seems nothing but happiness lies in store for Raffaella. So the last she expects is to find herself, one short year later a young widow, on her hands and knees, scrubbing the layers of dirt from the floor of a strange house. As Raffaella tries to recapture her own lost happiness, she looks for ways to help those around her to do the same. Carlotta the gardener's daughter with her mysterious grief, and the kind and gentle owner of the Gypsy Tearoom. Filled with food, love and longing, reading the Gypsy Tearoom is like taking a seat in the piazza of Triento.
"A touching story about one woman's search for love." --"Sunday Express"
When Nicky Pellegrino's Italian father came to England he fell in love with and married a Liverpool girl. He brought to his new family his passion for food and every summer the family returned to Italy. When Nicky met and married a New Zealander she moved to Auckland where she works as a journalist and edits a woman's magazine. She hordes her annual leave so that she and her husband can return to Italy to meet up with her family, eat the best mozzarella and research her books.
