SummaryWith her 16th novel, Adler (Last Time I Saw Paris, etc.)
once again brings a far-flung locale to life with escapist
flair, taking the reader—along with the questing heroine—on
a trip to the coast of southern Italy. Two years after her
husband's unexpected death, landscape architect Lamour
Harrington suffers more heartbreak when she learns of his
infidelity. So she sells her apartment and, along with her
dear friend Jammy, leaves windswept Chicago for balmy Italy,
where she hopes not only to alleviate her recent grief but
also face other ghosts of her past. When she was 17, her
father, a novelist, died in a mysterious boating accident
while they were living on the Amalfi coast. Seeking to
recover her spirit and understand her father's death, she
returns to the house they shared. Near the azure waters of
the Mediterranean, Lamour's grief begins to lift
immediately, especially after she reacquaints herself with
the area's charms, including men eager to woo her. But her
neighbors seem to know something about her family's past,
and she begins to unravel the events leading to her father's
death. Despite clunky dialogue, the novel engages with a
light story and luscious descriptions of food and scenery.
