The highly praised author of Hideous Kinky, returns with a searing and sensuous tale young love set amid the heat and beauty of a Tuscan summer

The Independent calls Esther Freud "the best writer on childhood we have." In Love Falls this brilliant novelist proves her power once again with an utterly charming and irresistible tale of adolescent love and self-discovery set in a foreign land.

When 17-year-old Lara accepts her father's invitation to accompany him to Tuscany for the summer, she's excited and trepidatious. But, her fears prove groundless, for the villa's closest neighbors are the contagiously adventurous Willoughbys, the teenaged brood of a wealthy British lord. Caught up in their torrential good humor--and snared particularly by Kip Willoughby's dark, flirtatious eyes--Lara sets off on a summer adventure full of danger, first love, and untold consequences that will change her life.
