In telling the story of their love affair, Shirley Hazzard punctures the placid surface of polite Italian society to reveal the intense yearnings and surprising responses in sophisticated people caught up in emotions they do not always understand.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Charged with great power...The impact on the reader is extraordinarily intense." --<i>The New York Times Book Review</i></p><p>"Short, elegant, and very good...A beautifully precise, ironic and yet evocative style." --<i>The New York Review of Books</i></p><p>"An authentic work of art...A cause for delight and gratitude...Beautiful, absorbing, satisfying." --<i>Chicago Tribune</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Shirley Hazzard</b> (1931-2016) is the author, most recently, of<i> Greene on Capri</i>, a memoir of Graham Greene, and several works of fiction, including <i>The Evening of the Holiday</i>, <i>The Bay of Noon, </i>and <i>The Transit of Venus</i>, winner of the 1981 National Book Critics Circle Award.
