Summary

Set Me Free is the new bestseller from Daniela Sacerdoti, following up the huge successes of her first two novels, Watch Over Me and Take Me Home.

In London, Margherita’s marriage has slowly been falling apart since her little Lewis’ birth, a surprise baby much wanted by her but not by her husband. To add to her problems, her adopted daughter, Lara, is going through a rough patch, and all of a sudden she’s gone from quiet and introverted to constantly angry, burdened by the unhappy memories of her early childhood.

Then Margherita’s husband, Ashley, suddenly announces he needs a break from the marriage and from family life. He couldn’t have chosen a worse time, just when Lara needs him most.

As Margherita struggles to come to terms with what’s happening to her, she decides that maybe this is the chance for Lara to spend some time away from London and for her mother and daughter to reconnect. So, together with three-year-old Lewis, they decide to spend the summer in Glen Avich, where Margherita’s mum and stepfather have opened a coffee shop, La Piazza.

To keep herself busy, Margherita agrees to help Torcuil Ramsay get his crumbling estate in order, with Lara’s help. As her plan begins to work, Lara increasingly finds peace in the beautiful house and its huge library, and in a new friendship with a mysterious local boy, Mal. And as Margherita discovers, Glen Avich can have a strange effect on people. Soon her heart is reawakened by shy, awkward Torcuil in a way she’d never thought possible again. But Mal is hiding a secret, and the summer won’t last forever.

Spellbinding and emotional, Set Me Free is a beautifully written story of a family in crisis and a secret that will change their lives forever.

Daniela Sacerdoti is the best-selling author of Watch Over Me. She was born and raised in Italy but has lived in Scotland for the past ten years. Daniela holds a degree in classics from the University of Turin and has taught Italian, Latin and Greek. Her great-uncle was the renowned Italian writer Carlo Levi. She lives in Glasgow.

Great story

This was a gripping story that I didn't want to put down. The main character was very likeable. There's a ghost story thread through the story which normally wouldn't be my type of book but I really enjoyed it in this novel. I really recommend this for an enjoyable book with interesting relationships between the characters that made me want to read more.
