College teaching assistant Ruth Tyack is excitedly planning for a
new job in Rome when she falls in love with Tom, a poet and
guest-lecturer at the college. Despite their intense feelings for
each other, Ruth and Tom must part after a single romantic
together. Tom is married and has too much respect for his wife and
a deep bond with his special needs’ son. In Italy, Ruth is caught
up in a whirlwind romance with Bruno, the scion of an aristocratic
family. Their marriage is happy but brief as Bruno is killed in an
auto accident and, in her grief, Ruth turns to his handsome cousin,
Peter, who has long been in love with her. But once remarried,
Peter demands that Ruth model herself after other wives of wealthy
Italians—docile homemakers and mothers who look the other way
when their husbands have affairs. As her unhappiness grows, Ruth
keeps returning to her feelings for Tom and the love that has never
been extinguished. Having kept in touch with him over the years,
she’s been deeply affected by his personal tragedy and the
anguish he faced as his wife suffered a series of breakdowns and
was committed to an institution. Should she remain in an
increasingly untenable marriage or follow her heart? The rerelease
of this bestselling contemporary romance has been updated to
include three new chapters which reveal the path she takes.
