Barnes & Noble Selects Rebecca Serle’s One Italian Summer as Their March 2022 National Book Club Selection

The Barnes & Noble Book Club pick for March 2022 is One Italian Summer by Rebecca Serle.

Every month, Barnes & Noble hand-picks a novel of distinction and power, with a captivating story arc that begs to be discussed, as their monthly Book Club selection.  Booksellers across the country rally behind these books, propelling them into the bestseller lists, cementing the careers of these authors.

“One Italian Summer is a moving exploration of the bonds between mother and daughter that laces together grief, love and food,” says Shannon DeVito, Director of Books at Barnes & Noble.  “Rebecca Serle delivers her signature time-warp tale and deftly immerses the reader into the lush landscape of the Amalfi Coast.  Exploring both heartbreak and healing, this transcendent novel is the perfect mix of reflection, loss and the bonds that tie us together.”

“I am absolutely thrilled that Barnes & Noble has chosen One Italian Summer as their March Book Club pick,” said Rebecca Serle.  “Some of my fondest memories as both a reader and a writer have taken place inside their walls.  I’m also very proud of the edition we created specifically for this Book Club, and all of the bonus material inside.  Thank you, Barnes & Noble, and see you soon in Italy, readers!”
