The Italian Lover, Paperback / softback Book

The Italian Lover Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Margot Harrington's memoir about her discovery in Florence of a priceless masterwork of Renaissance erotica - and the misguided love aff air it inspired - is now, 25 years later, being made into a film.

Margot, with the help of her lover, Woody, writes a script that she thinks will validate her life.

Of course, their script is not used, but never mind - happy endings are the best endings for films, as Margot eventually comes to see.

At the former convent in Florence where The Sixteen Pleasures - now called The Italian Lover - is being filmed, Margot enters into a drama she never imagined, where her ideas of home, love, art and aging collide with the imperatives of commerce and the unknowability of other cultures and other people.
