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.
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..
At work she encounters Justin, a Scotsman whose inscrutability Jenny finds mysteriously attractive.
Through the letter, she meets Giocanda, a beautiful and gifted writer, and Gianni, a famous Roman film director and Giocanda\'s lover.
Alone in the fabulously ruined city, she idly follows up a letter of introduction from an acquaintance and so changes her life forever.
