'Rome is both healer and magician in this enchanting novel of homecoming and belonging, and of the transformational power of friendship. Delizioso' Sarah Winman, author of Still Life
'Taylor’s prose is lilting and lyrical, capturing the city’s beguiling atmosphere, creating the perfect backdrop for the allure of la dolce vita' Daily Mail
1952, Trastevere, Rome. An idyllic maze crammed full of narrow streets and eccentric characters. A young English woman, Clementine Severs, arrives armed with a teaching certificate and enough idealism to fill a host of Grecian urns.
By 1976, she finds herself wilting, her youthful dreams squashed by time and tide. A chance encounter between an angel and a speeding mint green Vespa brings her into contact with a troubled young carpenter called Montgomery Marsh. Clemmie and Monty forge an unlikely friendship that takes them on a magical ride through the Eternal City in search of fresh hope and a new way of living.
Fun, spirited and full of heart, Roman Mornings, like the city of Rome itself, is a novel of mysterious beauty that you will want to revisit time and time again.
‘An uplifting joy of a story that brings the exuberance of Rome to life on every page. I felt the heat of the sun, heard the hustle and bustle, could even taste the food’ Frances Quinn, author of The Scandalous Ladies Football Club
‘Full of warmth and humour, the book is life-affirming and uplifting, exploring love, loss and second chances’ Yorkshire Post

Recenzii
Praise for Roman Mornings
'Melancholy and magic wend their winsome way through the streets of 1970s Rome as Taylor’s endearing characters follow their destinies under the watchful eye of the Eternal City’s curiously sentient statues. We meet sprightly, elderly Floss, who has an irrepressible sense of fun and shares a beautiful, but badly wired, palazzo with Clementine. Clemmie arrived with a head full of dreams and poetry, but now feels like an invisible middle-aged woman. She befriends Montgomery Marsh, a carpenter who’s nursing a secret sorrow, and a head injury after Clementine crashes into him on her Vespa. Taylor’s prose is lilting and lyrical, capturing the city’s beguiling atmosphere, creating the perfect backdrop for the allure of la dolce vita' Daily Mail
