Description

Set in the picturesque landscape of Umbria, Italy, Barry Unsworth's novel is a witty and illuminating exploration of contemporary manners and morals. A retired American couple seeks serenity, while a dispute over a wall escalates into an operatic feud. Meanwhile, two men searching for peace and self-sufficiency find treachery instead. A cast of characters converges on this hillside road, each with their own agendas and motivations. A wily "building expert" and a lawyer who practices subterfuge add to the complexity of the story. As tensions rise, Unsworth crafts a sharp, entertaining, and satisfyingly bittersweet tale that explores the human condition. With its vivid prose and nuanced characters, this novel offers a thought-provoking read for fans of literary fiction and mystery.
