I am delighted to share my review of T.A. Williams’ latest novel, Far From Home.
The Blurb:
The secrets of the past will unlock her future…
Working in the fast-paced foreign exchange market in Canary Wharf, Amy never expected her job to drive her to collapse. With her doctor advising she take a month off work, when Amy receives a solicitor’s letter informing her of a surprise inheritance in Italy, the timing couldn’t be more perfect.
But who on earth has left her a house in the sleepy Tuscan hills?
As she gets to know the town and its inhabitants, Amy discovers more about the mysterious man who named her in his will. Shocking family secrets come to light, leaving Amy questioning the life she knew.
The town of Sant’Antonio holds more than just secrets. Here, Amy meets Adam, a renowned TV journalist whose documentaries take him to dangerous places. But as their attraction grows, so do Amy’s worries. Her life is in England, while Adam’s is untethered and under constant threat…
An emotional, heartwarming love story full of family drama and quirky locals.
My review:
T.A. Williams’ latest novel, Far From Home, is a heartwarming tale of personal discovery. The story follows Amy, who unexpectedly inherits property and a substantial sum from a mysterious benefactor in Italy. As she unravels the mystery of her benefactor’s identity, Amy embarks on a journey that leads her to uncover deeper truths about herself. The narrative is enriched by charming characters, a beautiful setting, a tight-knit community feel, and the delightful presence of a black Labrador – a signature element in Williams’ books. The romance in the novel develops slowly, culminating in a satisfying and uplifting conclusion. However, the story’s heart lies in Amy’s leap of faith and growth throughout the novel. With its enchanting Italian setting, engaging plot and gorgeous Labrador, Far From Home is a delightful sunny read.

About the author:
T.A. Williams says, “I’m a man. And a pretty old man as well. I did languages at university a long time ago and then lived and worked in France and Switzerland before going to Italy for seven years as a teacher of English. My Italian wife and I then came back to the UK with our little daughter (now long-since grown up) where I ran a big English language school for many years. We now live in a sleepy little village in Devonshire. I’ve been writing almost all my life but it was only seven years ago that I finally managed to find a publisher who liked my work enough to offer me my first contract.
“The fact that I am now writing romantic comedy is something I still find hard to explain. My early books were thrillers and historical novels. Maybe it’s because there are so many horrible things happening in the world today that I feel I need to do my best to provide something to cheer my readers up. My books provide escapism to some gorgeous locations and, as a writer, I obviously have to go there in person and check them out first. I love my job…”
