A single event in her childhood irrevocably marked Catherine Gaillard -- and made it impossible for her to leave her cloistered mountaintop town in Tennessee for the next thirty years. But her devotion to her husband, Joe, and her desire to forever put the incident behind her propel Cat on a life-changing trip to Italy.Making their way across the countryside of Tuscany with two other couples, Cat and Joe soon feel themselves pulled in different directions, and the fabric of their marriage begins to unravel. Expanding beyond the bounds of a carefree trip, their journey takes them deep into the heart of their relationship...and becomes the ultimate test of their love.

A.R.S. has a wonderful way with words. The characters come to life in an intriguing plot set in the beautiful and compelling cities and countryside of Italy, and Tuscany in particular. As one who loves this author's way with words ,and also loves to be in Italy, Hill Towns is totally absorbing.
Transported me to the canals of Venice and streets of Rome

Having been to Italy on holiday, I must say that Hill Towns engaged my soul and transported me back there over and over -- from Cafe San Eustachius in Roma to the canals of Venezia to the streets of Firenze -- I was there with Cat and Joe, seeing and feeling everything. Anne Rivers Siddons' ability to capture the setting and give it to her readers is pure heaven.
another good one
