The Echoes of Love- Hannah Fielding *blog tour*

I am delighted to be part of the blog tour for Hannah Fielding's latest novel The Echoes of Love.

Set in the romantic and mysterious city of Venice and the beautiful landscape of Tuscany, "The Echoes of Love" is a touching love story that unfolds at the turn of the new millennium. It is a tale of a lost love and betrayal, unleashed passion and learning to love again - and a terrible truth that will change the lives of two strangers forever.
 
 
Review

 
The Echoes of Love is a sweeping love story featuring Venetia Aston-Montague, a woman who has suffered heartache in the past, and the devastatingly handsome Paolo Barone.  Venetia can't deny her attraction to Paulo, yet his reputation preceeds him- does he have a young mistress, a hidden wife, a string of lovers?  Should she guard herself against further pain or submit to her passion?
 
I absolutely adored the depth of the love story in The Echoes of Love, it felt almost voyeuristic to read.  Fielding encapsulates the overwhelming experience of falling deeply, completely, utterly in love beautifully, and the glorious backdrop of Venice, eloquently described throughout, is the perfect setting for this romantic novel.
 
It took me a while to get swept away by the story, but then I was desperate to know what would happen. It was definitely a book that was easier to read in large chunks and completely get lost in the story, and when I did it was magical.  It reads like a film, indeed I can totally imagine it as a Baz Luhrman epic with glorious costumes and elaborate settings. 
 
7.5/10
