For years, guests of the Tuscany Hotel could leave their pasts
behind and live among fellow artists. Now guests of a different
sort fill the rooms, searching for their memories-no matter the
cost. Run by renowned sculptor Robert Gandy and his wife and muse,
Magdalena, the Tuscany Hotel hosted guests of a certain
kind-artists, actors, scientists, and engineers who left their
worries behind so that they could create their latest masterpieces.
Surrounded by lore, the hotel was rumored to free the mind and
inspire artists' gifts. But tragic circumstances force Robert and
his family to move. After thirteen months at war, Vittorio Gandy is
haunted by memories, and his former life is unrecognizable. Once a
gifted painter, now he can't bear the vivid, bleeding colors on a
canvas. His young son doesn't remember him, and his wife, Valerie,
is scared of him. But the most disconcerting change is in Vitto's
father, Robert Gandy, who has fallen from being a larger-than-life
sculptor to a man whose mind has been taken by Alzheimer's. When
Robert steals away in the night, Valerie, Vitto, and his new
acquaintance and fellow veteran John go to the only place Robert
might remember-the now-abandoned Tuscany Hotel. When they find him
there, Robert's mind is sound and his memories are intact. Before
long, word gets out that drinking from the fountain at the hotel
can restore the memories of those suffering from Alzheimer's and
dementia. The rooms once again fill up with guests-not artists this
time, but people seeking control over their memories and lives.
Vitto desperately wants to clear his own mind, but as he learns
more about his mother's life and her tragic death, he begins to
wonder whether drinking the water comes at a price. A story of
father and son, memories lost and found, artists and their muses,
Midnight at the Tuscany Hotel explores the mysteries of the mind,
the truth behind lore, and the miracle of inspiration.
