Siena Love Story

by Nicky Pellegrino

 

A gorgeous new sun-soaked story about family, friendship and fresh starts from number one international bestselling author, Nicky Pellegrino.

 

 

Ever since she was a little girl, Aria has dreamt of riding in the Palio de Siena. She grew up hearing stories of Romplicollo, the only female jockey to have ridden in the Palio, and she has wanted nothing more than to cross that finish line, to hear the crowds to cheer for her.

 

 

Now nearing 40, that dream seems to be slipping away. Divorced and struggling to keep her beloved horses, she wonders whether it's finally time to give up.

 

 

But when English film-maker Oliver arrives in Siena to make a documentary about the Palio, it seems like the perfect opportunity for Aria to make her name as a jockey. And as they spend more and more time together, Aria wonders maybe - just maybe - there's another dream she might've given up on too soon . . .
