A family come together following the death of their loved one. Milly's family have gone to Italy every year since she was small, to stay with her aunt Alice. This year, they make the trip with Dad's ashes. With Milly's two sisters and her mother, I think there will be a clash of female personalities. Leonie seems dominant, but I would be interested to find out whether she has some hidden vulnerabilities.

Milly has not sung since her father died. Her family want her to accept a place at university in order to develop her talent. The question seems to be whether she wants the same things now her father has died. How will bereavement change everybody's personalities and goals?

The style is chatty - the present tense and contemporary references make it seem the protagonist is talking directly to the reader. The cover indicates this contemporary style, and also suggests the focus will be on one young woman coming into herself.
