A group of very different people--including a retired American couple, a feuding British family, two gay lovers, and a manipulative lawyer--is brought together and overwhelmed by local chicanery and the byzantine circuitry of Italian life. Reprint.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "A brilliant novel, exquisitely precise in its analysis of evil twisting it s way through ordinary lives." -Claire Hopley, Boston Globe From the Booker Prize-winning author of Sacred Hunger, "a vivid, sinuous, profound, and en tirely beguiling venture." -Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times. Set in the bea utiful landscape and rich history of Umbria, Italy, Booker Prize-winning au thor Barry Unsworth has written a witty and illuminating work of contempora ry manners and morals. The region where Hannibal defeated the Romans is now prey to a different type of invasion: outsiders buying villas with innocen t and not so innocent dreams. Among those clustered along one hillside road are the Greens, a retired American couple seeking serenity; the Chapmans, whose dispute over a wall escalates into a feud of operatic proportions; an d Fabio and Arturo, a gay couple who, searching for peace and self-sufficie ncy, find treachery instead. Add to this mix a wily and corrupt British "bu ilding expert," and a lawyer who practices subterfuge and plans his client' s actions like military strategy, and you have a sharp, entertaining, and s atisfyingly bittersweet work.
