A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

It is July, three months after Lara’s 17th birthday and a week before Charles and Diana’s royal wedding, and Lara is about to exchange the exhaust fumes of London for the Tuscan hillsides, as she leaves on a summer holiday with her distant, charismatic father.

At Via Campanelli they are greeted by the cool, elegant Caroline, whose sardonic composure leaves Lara tongue-tied and awkward. But as Lara’s skin begins to turn golden, she finds herself relaxing, seduced by the limpid beauty of the place. To her delight, the villa’s closest neighbours turn out to be the contagiously adventurous Willoughbys, the teenaged brood of expat British millionaire Lord Andrew Willoughby. Though thrown by the glamour and noisy ebullience of the family, Lara is drawn to Kip, a carelessly beautiful boy a couple of years older than she is. That holiday spent under the spell of the Willoughbys will leave her transformed.

Love Falls is a riveting novel about how one summer can change everything. This is a story written from inside the mind and heart of a girl, delicately carved and achingly honest in its portrayal of self-discovery. British critics have called Esther Freud “the best writer on childhood we have.”Love Falls proves them right.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

From the author of Hideous Kinky comes a charming, surprising, and utterly irresistible tale of adolescent love and self-discovery.

When seventeen-year-old Lara accepts her father's invitation to accom­pany him to a Tuscan villa for the summer, she's both thrilled and nervous for the exotic holiday. To her delight, she soon discovers that the villa's closest neighbors are the glamorous Willoughbys, the teenaged brood of a British millionaire. Caught up in their torrential thirst for amusement—and snared by Kip Willoughby's dark, flirtatious eyes—Lara sets off on a summer adven­ture full of danger, first love, and untold consequen­ces that will irrevocably change her life.
