Is it too late for Melina to learn to drive? Is Don Pericle's vow never to fall in love again still valid after fifty years? Will a falling piano squash Filomena or just shake up her heart? Why does the mother of the bride ask Don Pericle to cancel the wedding?
Ten humorous and heart-warming short stories, glowing with Sicilian sunshine, fragrant with home-made tomato sauce, and thrumming with mandolins' serenades. Ideal for your coffee break or as a bedtime read.
Also available in paperback and Very Large Print paperback

Praise for Stars Are Silver and other short stories:

Hartley's stories are a tonic: full of delightful, down-to-earth characters and recognisable life dilemmas, as well as unexpected twists. Above all, each story reminds us that simple human goodness can still be found and shared. -- Sandy Salisbury, author of Prairie Gold

Super, observant writing. [Tanino and Melina] really should have their own sit-com. -- Alan Spink, Editor of The People's Friend Magazine, on the Tanino and Melina stories

Hartley doesn't just give us stories, she gives us a slice of Italian life served with lashings of charm and wit. Highly recommended! -- Ella Hayes, author of Italian Summer with the Single Dad
