When Barb Barrett walks out on her loveless marriage, she doesn't
realize she will lose everything: her home, her financial security,
even her beloved children. Approaching forty with her life in
shambles and no family or friends to turn to, Barb must now
discover what it means to rely on herself in a stark new emotional
landscape.
With only a questionable business plan in hand, Barb is determined
to reinvent herself. She moves into a house once occupied by the
literary genius Vladimir Nabokov, author of the notorious "Lolita."
She discovers what could be Nabokov's last unpublished manuscript
and from there begins a personal journey that is deliciously
romantic, darkly comic, and wise.
Written in elegant prose and illuminated by sharp humor and wit,
"Cleaning Nabokov's House "offers a new vision of modern love and a
reminder that it is never too late to find loyalty to our truest
selves.
Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders star in this romantic drama

finds her husband becomes even more distant with her; to such an
extent that they decide to finish their holiday apart. Whilst Alex
enjoys the company of other expatriates on the island of Capri,
Katherine tours around the sights of Naples and Pompeii. However,
the different events they experience begin to bring the couple back
together.
