Thank you @Netgalley and @canelo_co for providing this book for me for an honest review.

Far From Home is about Amy, a woman who collapses due to the pressure of her job and gets advised by her doctor to take it easy. A couple days later she receives a mysterious message that she inherited a house in Italy. Unexpected and unknown why and by whom. Because of her roots in Italy and the fact that she needs to take it easier, Amy goes to Italy to get to know her new home. In the meantime, she gets to know herself better, the village in Italy and she has questions about what she wants to do next with her life.

TA Williams describes the Italian atmosphere in a wonderful way (read holiday feeling). This makes me want to imagine myself in Italy, especially with that delicious food.

I flew through the first half of the book. After that, it started to interest me less and less because the mystery (whose house had she inherited?) had been solved. Then it became more about how she could combine her life in London and her life in Italy with the people around her that she met during her time in Italy. I also found some romance there, but this remains on the surface.
All in all, a very entertaining book, but not recommended in my opinion. The writer has done his best to grab the reader.

At the end I read that this book was written by a man. I thought it was special to read that a man tries to tell a romantic story in this way. On the other hand, he knows how to create the Italian atmosphere very well.

What an absolutely beautiful romantic read. This pulled me in from the very first page and I read it in one day. I was totally intrigued as to how it would develop and eventually end and enjoyed every bit of the journey. Amy unexpectedly inherits a house in a lovely village in Tuscany, Italy. However she has never heard of the man who has left everything to her. When she arrives she finds out that he was a much loved member of the community. The story follows Amy’s journey on trying to find answers and how her various relationships develop in both London and Italy. The descriptions of the characters and all the locations made it very visual and makes me want to go and visit.

This story makes for a good holiday read where you can pick it up and put it down at will, as it doesn’t really grip you so that you don’t want to put it down. The characters are all very nice, but you don’t feel you really get to know any of them, and some of the descriptions can get tiresome. An ok read but nothing to shout home about

I enjoy reading books by this author - well-written, lovely descriptions of Italy the landscape and food, generally a gentle romance with some associated substance. In this case it was a neglected massive house left to a high finance, hot shot banker of sorts. She's overdoing it and told to take a break and heads to her mystery inheritance. No idea who the former owner was let alone why he left her the house and his fortune although I think many of guessed why. Plenty of intriguing characters helping her renovate the little hospital but I still cannot believe what gets done in four weeks in Italy with Italian bureaucracy. There is, of course, a black labrador but this time he has a sister as well. Enjoyable light read for a sunny afternoon but don't read too many to close together - there are certain routes used by the author making rather similar stories. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy.

🍇🍷Real feel-good summer reading🌄

4.5🌟stars
There were so many elements to enjoy in Far From Home:

-Idyllic Tuscan village setting;
-Friendly, helpful local residents;
-A female lead at a personal crossroads;
-A poignant father-daughter story;
-Romance; and
-A friendly Labrador that quickly establishes residence in lead character Amy's heart.

For me, this story was full of positive vibes. Although Amy's unexpected Italian inheritance from a man she never knew is bittersweet, she wastes no time forming friendships, building local connections and making the most of her new options in life. Amy's British BFF Lucy provides a nice touch of humor. I especially got a kick out of Lucy's man-crazy attitude and fixation on the handsome Italian building contractor😊.

Altogether a quick, easy, fun read. (Only wish I could have been there with them!)

Thanks to Canelo and NetGalley for sharing a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest opinion.

I loved this story. It was a sweet story of family, secrets, and starting over. While the plot was predictable, it was enjoyable from beginning to end. The characters were likable, especially Max, and the setting was picturesque. Great beach read.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Lovely holiday read about a young woman,Amy who works at a fast paced job in London. Amy collapses with exhaustion and then receives word that she's inherited a villa in Tuscany.
I enjoyed this book. Amy has to find out who left her the house in Tuscany as she has never heard his name before.
The descriptions of the countryside and the villa makes you want to step inside the book.
I was a bit worried about Amy as she falls in love with a man who leads an unconventional life and I thought that could cause problems for her.
Along with a lovely labrador there is enough in this story to make it an enjoyable read.

I have read several books by T A Williams and agree they are very samey. That said, if you like the format, then all the books being similar is a good thing. In this book there's very little in the way of angst. Everything is sorted quickly and with little drama. I liked the inclusion of the Labrador, and Williams always writes about the Italian landscape beautifully. As for the romance, it wasn't given much time. I couldn't understand why Amy fell for Adam. The ending felt rushed and underwhelming if I'm honest. I was more invested in whether Amy would take the dog on full-time. With thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Canelo for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was my first T.A Williams read, and I enjoyed his writing style and the plot. The story moved at a nice pace, and the description of Italy, characters and food was beautiful woven into the story without over-crowding.

This was not, however, a Romance. This was a Women's Fiction with romance being a sub-plot. Although I liked Amy (the FMC), I didn't have enough of a picture of Adam to be invested in their love story. I couldn't understand how Amy loved him so quickly, and it felt a bit too rushed towards the end.

As much as I love TA Williams’ Dan and Oscar series, I also love his romance novels, and Far From Home is no exception. It's so easy to read and I was effortlessly transported to the village of Sant'Antonio, with its beautiful landscapes and wonderful mix of people. TA Williams’ descriptions are amazing and it's impossible not to fall in love with the place.

The protagonist of Far From Home is Amy. She's a character I found it easy to empathise with. When she initially comes to Sant'Antonio she is dealing with a lot of emotions and I really enjoyed seeing her grow in confidence as the story developed. She's surrounded by some great supporting characters, including Adam, Danny and Pierpaolo and I loved her burgeoning friendships with them, and of course, Max the Labrador.

Unlike some romance novels, there is a slight element of mystery in Far From Home and I was keen to see where this would lead and what it would mean for Amy.

I am looking forward to my next adventure in Italy with this author!

I do love a T. A. Williams book and I'm in eternal amazement at just how prolific his writing is, in two different genres, and both to such a high quality.

And Far From Home is another wonderful book from this author. Don't worry it has the trademark black Lab, a gorgeous dog called Max who stole my heart, as well as Amy's heart.

We have a surprise inheritance with a slight mystery as to just why Martin has left so much to Amy, when she has never heard of him. There is also some incredibly gorgeous Italian men, and a wonderful Tuscan setting of Sant'Antonio.

I loved Amy's story, seeing how she adjusted to her changing circumstances, and trying to work out just where she might be happiest living in the future. While at the same time becoming more and more integrated into life in Italy, and she makes some lovely new friends.

It had me wanting to book the next flight to Italy, in order to move their, I was that at home in the setting, which was so wonderfully described.

An incredibly enjoyable story that I devoured, and couldn't get enough of. Another worthy addition to this author's catalogue of fabulous Italian based books.

Thank you to Canelo and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

Amy is used to working long hard days in forex, until she collapses with a suspected heart attack. At the same time, she discovers she has been left a property in Italy by a complete stranger. Forced by her employer to take several weeks leave to recuperate she travels to the Tuscan hills to discover a magnificent inheritance. The time alone will also allow Amy to decide how she feels about her boyfriend and whether they have a future together.

This was pleasant enough, although I didn't feel the romance - I kept wondering why she fell in love with him. Also, TA WIlliams' novels are all beginning to feel very similar with the inevitable Labrador and lengthy food descriptions.

I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley for an honest review.

Honestly I cannot get enough of TA Williams books. It’s like you’re transported into the story as soon as you start the first page.

This book was no different to any of the others in the fact that I loved it! Amy was a lovely character and I liked Adam too. One thing I will say is that I felt it needed a bit more romance between the 2 but apart from that it was a fab read in a stunning location as always.

Set in a picturesque small town in Tuscany, Amy has inherited a beautiful home from a mystery man and after a health scare in her place of employment, decides to go to Sant’Antonio.

An enjoyable read with family secrets, an inheritance and finding new friends makes this book a wonderful read that will leave you feeling happy.

I absolutely love TA Williams so I was so excited to see she had a new book coming out, I definitely have burnt myself out with my job and it really does affect your mental health just as much as physical. I was so curious to follow her along her journey to healing and unraveling the mystery of her family. I also loved the aspect of the romantic interest being in journalism and as a former journalist as well I could really relate to that aspect a lot. I thought it was such a beautiful book. Very well written and held my interest. I absolutely recommend picking this up and adding it your beach bag.
