Three Summers

In **Three Summers by Claire Allen**, sunlit days in a small fishing village hide the kind of secrets that shape a lifetime. Set in **Tricase Porto, Puglia**, this is an immersive work of **historical fiction** with a strong vein of **romance** and family tension, perfect for readers who like their drama served with sea air and lemon trees.

In 1957, Rafaella Parisi watches her coastal town come alive with summer visitors, torn between what’s expected of her and her pull towards Cosimo Franchetti, heir to the local wealthy family. A year later, a terrible accident at the Franchetti villa forces Rafa into a promise that quietly rewrites everyone’s future. By 1961, when Rafa and Cosimo cross paths again, the past refuses to stay neatly buried.

Ideal for fans of Italy-set novels, slow-burn love stories, and emotionally driven domestic drama.

Add **Three Summers** to your basket and slip into Puglia for a few unforgettable seasons.
