Book Overview

Part romance, part gothic suspense story, this is the compelling tale of an American woman's awakening as she tumbles headlong into a mystery, art, and eros--from the bestselling, award-winning author of Property. - "Spellbinding ... A virtuoso ... Martin's competence has kindled into brilliance." --The New York Times Book ReviewLucy leads a quiet, solitary life working for a best-selling (but remarkably untalented) writer. When he dies at his villa in Tuscany, Lucy flies to Tuscany to settle his affairs. What begins as a grim chore soon threatens Stark's Emersonian self-reliance--and her very sense of what is real. The villa harbors secrets: a missing manuscript, neighbors whose Byzantine arrogance veils their dark past, a phantom whose nocturnal visits tear a gaping hole in Lucy's well-honed skepticism. And to complicate matters: Massimo, a married man whose tender attentions render Lucy breathless. Smart, sophisticated, achingly beautiful, Italian Fever is one of the most original and compelling novels of the year. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Published by Karen DeGroot Carter • January 25, 2021

Whether or not you're an audiophile who insists music sounds best when played on a vinyl record, it's hard to argue against how soothingly old school it is to pull a record out of a sleeve, place it on a record player, and carefully drop the needle in just the right spot.
