Patron Saint of Second Chances
Book Feature - Patron Saint of Second Chances by Christine Simon
HBL Note: This novel is checking all the boxes: It’s a debut. It’s being compared to novels by Fredrik Backman. It is uplifting (I don’t know about you, but I’m definitely gravitating towards feel-good books lately.) It is set in Italy, so we get to travel without the jet lag. Are you convinced you need to buy your copy? It is about a man on a mission to save his small Italian town and it touches on themes such as community, family, and what really matters in life.

From the publisher:
Without expensive repairs to the pipes, the water board will cut off Speranza's crumbling Italian village. All 212 inhabitants will be forced to leave.
In a desperate bid to find the money to save his hometown, he starts a rumour that Italian heart-throb Dante Rinaldi is coming to town to film his next movie.
Soon, the place is teeming with fans and everyone wants to be involved: Speranza's assistant has a screenplay and the butcher will invest - if Speranza can find roles for each of his fifteen enormous sons. Even the priest is on board.
It seems the only way to give their beloved town a second chance is to actually make a movie. What could possibly go wrong?
