This book "The Favour"by Laura Vaughan is set in the palazzos of Venice, the cathedrals of Florence and the villas of Rome.
This is her first book that she has written for adults and I am sure it won't be the last. She has written eleven books in the past mainly for young adults and children so one solely for adults is a first that is a totally new experience for her.
We follow Ada whose wealthy godmother gives her an extravagant art history trip to Italy so she is given a second chance in life.The book asks how far would you go to fit in...many would say all the way.
It is a story of a lonely ousider who craves so much for a different world one that has status glamour and all the trappings of a priviledged elite society. She so wants to be sophisticated, priviledged and cultured and trys he very best to make sure she is fitting in!
Does she manage to achieve the goal she has set for herself ???
