From the moment it opens--on a rocky patch of Italian coastline,
circa 1962, when a daydreaming young innkeeper looks out over the
water and spies a mysterious woman approaching him on a boat--Jess
Walter's Beautiful Ruins is a dazzling, yet deeply human, roller
coaster of a novel. From the lavish set of Cleopatra to the shabby
revelry of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, to the back lots of
contemporary Hollywood, Beautiful Ruins is gloriously inventive and
constantly surprising--a story of flawed yet fascinating people
navigating the rocky shores of their lives while clinging to their
improbable dreams.
