The Italian lesson: A novel

The Castello of San Salvatore is an enchanted holiday place set in the hills of Florence. It is just the spot for polytechnic lecturer William Farmer to pursue his search for E.M. Forster and for wife Fanny to get over a recent stillbirth. And just the setting for some wicked observations.
