Angielski
A very grown-up love story from award winning novelist and playwright, Catherine Czerkawska, a sexy and appealing novel about an irresistible mutual attraction and what comes after.
Rosalind is in her mid thirties, divorced, depressed and working in property sales on Tenerife. Only a few weeks ago, with a precious Irish passport from her Mayo born mother, she left wintry Glasgow to make a new life for herself in the sunny Canary Isles. That was the idea at the time, but now she's not so sure. You take yourself with you wherever you go, and she's as lonely and unhappy as she ever was.
Luis is a musician from the nearby island of La Gomera. He plays the guitar and sings traditional songs in the bar where the young property crowd spend their evenings. But all his time and energy is focused on a future project, a dream that will take him back to his beloved birthplace. That is, until he is distracted by his unexpected but overwhelming attraction to Rosalind. The feeling turns out to be mutual - but nothing in life is ever simple and nor is love at first sight.
Can Luis and Rosalind achieve a lasting relationship, or will the cultural divide between them prove to be too wide for them to bridge?
Bitter Oranges, a sequel to Orange Blossoms, will be published in Autumn 2023
