A new brand new edition of the English classic with stunning illustrations by Luke Edward Hall.
Lucy has her rigid middle-class life mapped out for her until she visits Florence with her
uptight cousin Charlotte and finds her neatly ordered existence thrown off balance. Her eyes
are opened by the unconventional characters she meets: flamboyant romantic novelist Eleanor
Lavish the Cockney Signora curious Mr Emerson and most of all his passionate son George.
Lucy finds herself torn between the intensity of life in Italy and the repressed morals of
Edwardian England personified in her terminally dull fiancé Cecil Vyse. Will she ever learn to
follow her own heart?
