Synopsis

'An absolute joy to read...a novel that is part love story, part ghost story, and a wholly enjoyable and intelligent summer read' Amanda Craig, New StatesmanThirtysomething New Yorker Lucy Stark leads a quiet, solitary life working for a bestselling - but remarkably untalented - writer. When he dies at a villa in Tuscany, Lucy flies to Italy to settle his affairs. What begins asa grim chore soon threatens her self-reliance and her very sense of reality.In Italian Fever, Valerie Martin evokes a modern woman's headlong tumble into a world where E.M.Forster's angels feared to tread. Smart and sophisticated, this novel takes us on a journey from which we return, like Lucy, utterly changed.
