A Novel.

Told with warmth and humour, 'The Apprentice Lover' is a heartfelt coming of age story about a young American whose apprenticeship in the literary life, as well as in affairs of the heart, unfolds amidst the Europeans.

When Alex Massolini's brother is killed in Vietnam, he drops out of Columbia University and leaves his conservative family behind for Capri to become secretary to the world-famous writer Rupert Grant.

Alex quickly finds himself ensnared in a web of love affairs, friendships and rivalries within the eccentric community that inhabits the idyllic beauty of the isolated Italian island.

Among that group are the selfish, cunning and brilliant Rupert Grant; his wife Vera, a charming and sophisticated social manipulator; the elusive Holly and the mysterious Marisa who act as Grant's research assistants; the young philosophy student from the Sorbonne, Patrice LaRue; and Father Aurelio who is desperate for parishioners.
