Candles on the Sand
What you need to know before your trail
When Anna realises the relationship with her mother is beyond repair she decides to try a new life in Italy. On the first day of her journey she takes a wrong turn off the main road and finds a picturesque town down a winding country road. A dramatic rescue finds Anna embraced by the community of the small fishing town of San Lavello.
In San Lavello she finds a place to live, a job and some very special friends. What’s more, she starts to find her real self. Through Leonora, a former actress who is in hiding and Elisa, the daughter of the local widowed restaurateur Salvatore, Anna begins to live her life the way she wants to live it. The friendship she develops with her wine dealer boss, Dante, becomes stronger and apprehensively she finds herself falling in love with him.
Travel Guide
Amalfi Coast – San Lavello
A small village said to be located on the Amalfi Coast but this is fictional. There is a village called Lavello further inland from the coast which is nice for a visit, but this fictional one is firmly on the coast.
It’s seemingly a good place to hide – Leonora, a former actress certainly thinks so and Anna meets lots of other nice people such as Leonora, the daughter of the local widowed restaurateur Salvatore.
The idea of escape from London to sunny Italy is nice on so many levels
