I was so excited for the ending, but sad it was over. Excited to read more by this author' ????? Rosie Redbrush, a travel agent working for Wanderlust Wishes travel agency, is someone who sells holidays but never takes them.

But then, just a few days before Christmas, a problematic customer tricks Rosie into becoming a tour guide for a group of ten disgruntled old-age pensioners in Venice! And suddenly, Rosie's quiet life is thrown into disarray. Escorting an elderly group through the streets of Italy's most romantic city is hard enough, but throw in a neurotic aquaphobe, an accidental Santa race, a regrettable selfie, and a missing backpack, suddenly Rosie finds herself extremely lost in Venice, without a penny or a passport to her name. Rosie can't go home. And as she travels Italy looking for a solution, what she doesn't expect to find are a loving family, a group of eclectic new friends, and the possibility of true love in the most unlikely of places... The gorgeous new festive romcom from Joanna Knowles, Lost and Found in Venice is guaranteed to be your favourite new comfort read.

Joanna Knowles

Joanna lives in the south of England with her family, in a house with far too many books, and a cat who often ignores her. She hates to fly but loves to travel prefers paperbacks to eBooks, and adores American sitcoms. Alongside her writing, she has a love of movies, eating out, and socialising with her friends. Her family are her world and her husband is the love of her life. She completed both a BA(Hons) in English Literature and a master's degree in creative writing, all while her children were little. These days, she can often be found scouring the internet for her next book destination, failing miserably at the daily crossword, and writing her next novel sitting absolutely anywhere, but at her desk. Lost and Found in Venice is Joanna's second published novel with Orion Fiction. Her debut, Love is in the Air, was published in 2023. She is currently working on her third novel which takes place at the top of a volcano.
