I am very grateful for audiobooks, although my relationship with them wasn´t always a smooth one. After being very much reluctant because of my very limited attention span, which may affect my understanding of a book, I educated my attention learning to properly focus and keep a track of the information. Now, I am practically listening at least to one book per week, being able to deeply delve into the topics and complexities of the plot.
My latest ´read´ was a novel that suits very well the time of the year, with a character that just gets under your literary skin. Anna, the main character of Butterfly Summer by Toni de Palma is a successful Hollywood producer whose advice about romance and love are very much appreciated. In reality though, she is a mess romantically and soon her professional life may be labeled likewise.
As she is back to Italy, the setting of a bride-related show, she s curious to investigate a bit more the secrets of an aunt with whom she spent some idyllic time in her youth. But her wish to find out more may turn around her; her life and her professional success.
The story is well paced and also well told - exceptionally read by Teresa Mastrobuono - for the audio version and I enjoyed to get to know the characters and their challenges.
A recommended read if your heart is already longing for a summer time in Italy, while being guided by Anna´s own (mis)adventures.
