An insightful and passionate novel from the author of 'Interesting
Women', which follows the dramatic breakdown of the marriage and
lives of a couple once thought to be in love. Mira Ward, a writer,
and her husband Nick, a banker, are a newly married American couple
who seem to have the ideal life. Good-looking and in love, they are
the envy of their family and friends. But when Nick is transferred
to Rome, the two become classic innocents abroad. Fate intervenes
when on a plane journey to join her husband, Mira -- by pure chance
-- is given a first-class ticket. Impulsively giving her phone
number to Zenin, a predatory Italian tycoon she meets on the plane,
she sets in motion a chain of events that will reveal the cracks in
her marriage and her self-image, and shatter her life as she knows
it. Evoking the grandeur and romance of Italy, and weaving back and
forth in time -- between the current lives of Mira, Nick and Zenin,
and the tumultuous days of the affair -- 'Lost Hearts In Italy' is
a haunting novel of betrayal and passion, about the sacrifices we
make in the name of love, and the true cost of desire.
