Thirty something 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 as a 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 EM Forster's angels feared to tread. Smart and sophisticated, this novel takes us on a journey from which we return, like Lucy, utterly changed.
