5.0 out of 5 stars I love capri, 25 Aug 2002
It takes alot of book to keep me interested and 'I Love Capri' certainly has done this. The book is about Kim who is a transaltor living in a flat in Cardiff. Her Grandfather who lives in Capri dies and she has to travel there, as translator for her mother who had inherited his designer clothes shop. Ms. Jones who wrote the novel keeps us intrigued from the start, her description of Capri is fabulous.Once you are hooked, you can't put the book down, every couple of hours i am reaching out for my dose of itailian culture, you can taste the pasta and ice-cream as you read it. This novel is a must for those of us who are hooked on escapism. I will be buying ms. Jones other novel diva las veags, next.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderfuly uplifting, funny and intelligent, 22 Feb 2004
I Love Capri tells the tale of Kim Rees, a half Welsh, half Italian translator who lives in a basement flat in Cardiff with her best friend Cleo. Since having her heart broken by her fiancé, Kim has lived a pathetic half-life consisting of little more than slobbing around the flat watching telly, eating chocolate and translating German computer games.

Things begin to look up when Kim finds out that her recently deceased Italian grandfather Gino has left her £5,000 in his will. However, when Kim’s much married mother decides that the two of them should go to the Isle of Capri to organise Gino's affairs, the excitement quickly fades and a sense of foreboding takes over at the prospect of spending two whole weeks with her fashion obsessed flirt of a mother.

Following an encounter with a drop dead gorgeous (married) hunk and a face-off with her dead grandfather’s mistress, Kim discovers that the truth is subjective when love is involved, realises she and her adulterous mother aren’t so different after all.

This is a brilliantly entertaining read, which despite its serious themes of love and betrayal, manages to be light-hearted and funny and so engrossing that I actually missed my stop one morning because I was so absorbed in the story. This book has made me seriously re-think my previously wholehearted condemnation of the entire ‘chick-lit genre’. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars An ode to the frustrated traveller, 9 Aug 2006
By A. Bishell "Zanzibar" (Lincoln, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I picked this up on an impulse buy, never having heard of Belinda Jones before. Little did I realise I would cause me to lose two days.

I just couldn't put this book down - I clicked with the main character, Kim, straight away, and thanks to Belinda's vivid descriptions of what Kim was seeing and experiencing, I didn't feel so much as though I was reading a book - it felt more as though I was stood to one side observing her.

It was great to read a chick lit romance that has an original angle to it, which I found challenged me to consider my own moral compass and what I may have done if I was in Kim's shoes, without being "preachy". Ultimately this is a "feel good" read and left me with a great summer vibe. If you can't travel this summer, but want to feel as though you've got away from it all, I thoroughly recommend this book!
