'She's such a skilful storyteller who vividly dramatises our lives
with wit, wisdom and compassion' Bernardine Evaristo 'Do you know
why lifeboats have an axe in them?' 'To chop down trees on a desert
island?' 'No. To cut off the hands of swimmers who can't be saved,
because otherwise the boat and everyone in it will sink.' When Enzo
shoots an illegal migrant from his bedroom one night, it triggers a
series of events that embroil old and young, rich and poor, native
and foreign. His elderly neighbours Ruth, Diana and Marta are three
friends who have retired to Tuscany. Ruth's favourite grandson Olly
is about to get married from her idyllic hillside farmhouse;
however, the bride, Tania, seems curiously unengaged by anything
but vlogging as a social media influencer. Marta, preparing to give
the annual music recital sponsored by a Russian oligarch in hiding
from Putin, is increasingly unwell, and her grandson, Xan, is full
of resentment at the inequalities he encounters. Diana is nursing
her demented husband, Lord Evenlode, and desperate for her own
freedom to begin. Over two weeks in May, all these characters will
face challenging choices as they grapple with their own past and
with present dangers. For although the Tuscan spring looks as
ravishing as a Renaissance painting, the realities of modern life
make it harder and harder to believe that there is more that unites
us than what keeps us apart. Brilliant, enthralling, funny and
generous, this is an exploration of the indomitable human heart.
