Publisher's Summary

When attractive, impulsive English widow Lilia takes a holiday in Italy, she causes a scandal by marrying Gino, a dashing and highly unsuitable Italian 12 years her junior. Her prim, snobbish in-laws make no attempt to hide their disapproval, and when Lilia's decision eventually brings disaster, her English relatives embark on an expedition to face the uncouth foreigner. But when they are confronted by the beauty of Italy and the charm and vitality of the disreputable Gino, they are forced to examine their own narrow lives. Their reactions are emotional, violent, and unexpected.

A classic worth reading

The narrator catches the nuances of the period the book is set in. An easy to listen to voice. The story is timeless in its twists and turns of love, betrayal, and unpredictability of outcomes. The perceptions of the times come across so clearly and at once can be sad yet humorous. A great listen.
