Sweet Lemons: A tale of relationships under the sultry Sicilian sun. Fidelma Kelly

'Fans of Liane Moriarty's Nine Perfect Strangers and David Nicholls will love this.'

Four Strangers. Five weeks. Love lost and found in Sicily's Hotel Panoramico.

Hotel Panoramico has the best view in Sicily. Or so the locals say. It's where Isabelle flees for time out, when her long-term partner ups and marries someone else.

Italian conductor Rico accepts a last-minute Tosca contract at the local festival but is unhappy to find himself billeted in a seaside hotel in high season.

Recent music graduate Didi accompanies her widowed mother on an extended holiday - a decision she fears might give a whole new meaning to the term long-haul.

Local Sicilian Salvatore faces into another chaotic summer as the undervalued and overworked receptionist at the hotel.

As the thermometer continues to rise throughout July and August, so too do passions in the hothouse environment of the Panoramico. Soon, these four strangers are drawn together as their lives - past and present - become entwined.

One thing is sure: by the time the guests check out, things will never be the same again.
