Trying to stabilise her life as an entrepreneur in the middle of an economic crash is almost impossible.

And trying to buy an abandoned villa in Umbria from eight crazy cousins with a longstanding family battle bubbling under the surface doesn't make it any easier. While Rosie is determined to create the perfect life for her family in Italy, despite a hurricane, a raucous family dispute and a little thing called a global pandemic to top it all off, she begins to realise that the Italian dream may be too big for her.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Accidentally buying a derelict 22-room villa in the Italian countryside? What could possibly go wrong? When Rosie Meleady's landlord doubles her rent in cold, wet, overprice Ireland, she packs up her family, her two dogs, and all her possessions into a camper van and sets off across Europe to sunny Italy, where she plans to grow her destination wedding planning business. But it's not all sunshine and gelato, as Rosie and her family soon find out. Between a hurricane, a global pandemic, and accidentally buying a massive villa--that has definitely seen better days--in the Italian countryside, from eight cousins in the middle of a long-standing family dispute, Rosie pulls back the curtains on the less glamorous side of moving abroad, including navigating the complex layers and utter ridiculousness of buying a home in Italy; the tribulations of the COVID pandemic, which forced them to shutter their booming wedding planning business, taking their income down to zero; and the difficulty of integrating into a completely new country, culture, and language while nearly everything is shut down. Lighthearted, uplifting, and utterly escapist, A Rosie Life in Italy is HGTV meets Under the Tuscan Sun--a delightful peek under the covers of what it's like to throw caution to the wind, take a risk, and build a life you once only dreamed of.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →"What do you do when your kids grow up and you are having a midlife crisis during a global pandemic? You buy a 22-room derelict villa in Italy while grocery shopping of course. Well, that is what Rosie did. Buying the house was an accident, she only went out for bananas and wine. In book two of this series, Rosie embarks on renovating her 22-room 'new' home in Italy with a non-negotiable move-in date of Christmas Eve and a translation app as her project manager. Surrounded by a cast of interesting characters, the non-Italian-speaking Irish woman learns the Italian way of life and house renovating in the new country she wants to call home. But with no heating, windows disappearing, mystery holes in the garden, water flooding the stairs, a business destroyed by the pandemic and with a move-in date that seems more laughable than doable, Rosie begins to question if she was crazy to let her fabulous midlife crisis dream run away with itself."-- Page [4] of cover.

With both her kids now living in different countries and the funds to finish renovations going AWOL, Rosie is starting to suspect that the Sighing House might be a tad too big for just her and hubby Ronan. To make matters worse, with Ronan’s pending criminal court case—following his encounters with a toupee rat pack and the anti-Mafia special police squad—Rosie may soon be the only resident in the house. As her life spins at a speed faster than a Ferrari on an Italian motorway–while dealing with grief for her Dad, her brother’s cancer diagnosis, her mother’s unexpected return and health scares galore, Rosie discovers that the festoons of red tape while trying to get into the Italian health system, is like untangling cooked spaghetti."-- Amazon.com.
