A Slip of the Tongue

Will Melina regret faking sickness to escape the domestic chores? Who has stolen the marble Pisces from the cathedral's floor? Can Don Pericle organise a wedding for a groom who doesn't know?

Twelve humorous short stories dripping with the Sicilian sunshine, ringing with not-so-well-kept secrets, fragrant with freshly fried arancine rice balls, ideal for your coffee break or as a bedtime read. Written by Stefania Hartley, The Sicilian Mama.

Praise for A Slip of the Tongue and other short stories:

It's like a slim and elegant box of luxury chocolates, each treat more delicious than the last. Definitely recommended. - Ewan Smith

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
