Description
An American pragmatist arrives in Italy expecting answers of a practical kind, only to find herself drawn into a web of art, longing, and unsettling history. As Lucy Stark navigates a landscape of galleries, old villas, and half-remembered stories, a romance begins to blur the lines between what she knows and what she suspects. What starts as a travel narrative and personal awakening gradually turns into a gothic suspense mystery—one that feels haunted by the past and propelled by the need to uncover the truth. With Valerie Martin’s elegant, observant style, the novel blends mystery plotting with rich reflections on art and place, exploring themes of desire, memory, and the ways stories outlive the people who tell them.
