A Boatful of Lemons: An Unforgettable Summer on the Amalfi Coast

Product Information

And this is why I self published as well. I didn't want to go the route of sending it off to publishers and having people reject it. Wendy Holloway: I read somewhere that even though you're married to an Italian, and you have a daughter, you still think about returning to England. Anyway, the consequence was the world was going to end and everybody had to figure out where to go and a load of them went up into space. And Seven Eves - I never really considered why was it called that until I'd finished it the book - is left with just seven women, and they're the only humans left, and they have to figure out how to become Eve and repopulate the human race. Then I remembered a book I’d read called Seven Eves. It was science fiction, and I don't normally read science fiction, but it was a fascinating book. It was about how one day the moon broke into pieces, and everybody was like, oh what happened, what happened, and then eventually a scientist comes along and says, we shouldn't be concentrating on what happened, we need to concentrate on what's going to happen next, what are the consequences are of this. Time went on and Maria said, “Okay, it's getting late. Let's go up to the main road that winds through the town and we'll just sit at the bar and we'll wait for Maurizio.”

So... You could read it and come here and find some of the locations, some of the characters even, and really get a feel of what it was like. So, that was my intention. The book is set in 1986, the first year I came here. I wanted to write a lot of my experiences, a lot of the funny, quirky little things that happened to me over the years. And I wanted to bring them all together in one fictional story. A Boatful of Lemons takes place in Positano, the breathtaking cliffside village on Italy's Amalfi Coast. Although the book is a work of fiction it's interlaced with some of Positano's factual local characters, and historic bars and restaurants. I can remember everybody being so horrified by me and slowly, slowly people teaching me how to feed myself. A Boatful of Lemons is a perfect summer read and one I know I will read over and over because the writing is beautiful. An incredible debut novel by an author who has gained great popularity from blogging and a cookbook in the past. I can’t wait to see what she writes next!I gathered up all the people who were in Positano with me and said, “Come on! We're having lunch where this guy is going.” In fact, lunch at Ristorante Cambusa was amazing.

Wendy Holloway: I think whenever an author writes a book, even if it's fiction, you can't help but put yourself into it because you have your life of experiences, outlooks, and it has to come through in one way or another, in overt ways or very subtle ways and of course that's the case with you as well. Wendy Holloway: I have just one last question about your YouTube channel, Positano Diaries, which I absolutely love. Wendy Holloway: And then for your editing, you airdrop onto your laptop and then next what's your process? Wendy Holloway: One final question about the book title, A Boatful of Lemons. My feeling is that there was a scene with Francesco, the main love interest, on a boat and he has all these lemons that spill into the boat and it seemed to me that was the inspiration.So if you're doing it for the money, no, you need to find yourself a publisher who's going to publish it and get it out in the shops and everything.
