Four Hundred and Forty Steps to the Sea

The "Richly Romantic Novel Set in Stunning Positano" is a captivating tale of love, family loyalty, and sacrifice spanning five decades.

Nestled into the cliffs of southern Italy's Amalfi coast, Positano is an artist's vision, with rows of brightly hued houses perched above the sea and picturesque staircases meandering up and down the hillside.

The novel follows Santina, a striking woman despite old age and illness, as she decides the fate of her 18th-century palazzo, Villa San Vito.

With each passing year, Santina becomes more deeply enmeshed within the family, navigating complicated feelings for a man who is much more than an employer while hiding secrets that could shatter the only home she knows.

This richly romantic novel will transport you to a beautiful and secluded village, shaking off the dust of war in 1949, and follow Santina's journey as she navigates love, family loyalty, and sacrifice over five decades.
