Kit Raine, an American writer living in the small Italian town of San Rocco, is working on a biography of her close friend, the novelist, Margaret Merrill.

But her work is waylaid by the arrival of three women - Julia, Camille and Susan - all of whom have recently formed a friendship that will uproot them completely and redirect their lives. For Susan, the most fearless of the three, has enticed them to subvert expectations of a staid retirement in the States by taking on the lease of a big, beautiful house in Tuscany…….

Though novices in a foreign culture, their renewed appetite for adventure imbues each of them with a bright sense of bravery, a spirited lust for life, and a fierce determination to thrive.

With Kit’s friendship and guidance, the here friends launch themselves into Italian life, pursuing passions long-forgotten -with drastic and unforeseeable consequences.
