Long out of print, Shirley Hazzard's classic novel of love and memory
A young Englishwoman working in Naples, Jenny comes to Italy fleeing a history that threatened to undo her. Alone in the fabulously ruined city, she idly follows up a letter of introduction from an acquaintance and so changes her life forever. Through the letter, she meets Giocanda, a beautiful and gifted writer, and Gianni, a famous Roman film director and Giocanda's lover. At work she encounters Justin, a Scotsman whose inscrutability Jenny finds mysteriously attractive. As she becomes increasingly involved in the lives of these three, she discovers that the past--and the patterns of a lifetime--are not easily discarded.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Picador USAISBN-13:9780312422875ISBN-10:312422873UPC:9780312422875Book Category:FictionBook Subcategory:Romance, Psychological, LiteraryBook Topic:ContemporarySize:8.30 x 5.46 x 0.51 inchesWeight:0.41Product ID:SC7RQWH6WX
