One weekend is all they have.
For three women facing life-changing decisions, the exclusive Renovatus Resort, perched high above the bustle of the Italian and French Rivieras, is the perfect place for some serious soul-searching. And Carolina Cantarelli, its passionate proprietor, has a gift for guiding women in difficulty - whether they like it or not.
Allegra, the rootless yoga instructor with a problematic celebrity partner; Inge, the esteemed Swiss fertility specialist married to a rich but boring Italian entrepreneur; and Josephine, the middle-aged American schoolteacher stationed in Rome, have no reason to strike a friendship.
But as their stories play out in the secluded mountain resort and the women look to nature for insight and solace, they will be surprised to discover a connection none of them could have anticipated - or desired.
Accompanying the women on their journey of self-discovery, readers will be delighted by Carolina's culinary creations and enchanted by the resort's magical setting while being drawn, chapter by captivating chapter, into the personal plight of each character.
At the Renovatus, as in life, sometimes there is no easy way out.
Her Side of the Story is Angela Scipioni's fifth novel, following the bestselling three-volume Iris & Lily series co-authored with her sister, Julie Scipioni, and Gently, Jolene, set in Italy's fabled Cinque Terre.
