In her delightful reimagining of A Midsummer's Night Dream, Amanda Craig slyly serves up a witty cross-cultural farce, a modern-day tale of love and lies set against the magical landscape of Tuscany. When Theo, a workaholic lawyer, his English wife Polly, and their two children rent an idyllic Italian villa, they expect a relaxing summer holiday together. Polly, with her loved ones' romantic interests at heart, has invited an eccentric mix of friends and family along--including three eligible bachelors, a former model, an Indian-British divorcee with a young son, and her own appalling mother-in-law. They soon discover the Casa Luna is a strange, enchanted place where people find their heart's desire--but at a price. Everyone falls in love, though not with the people they expect, and the results are surprising and hilarious.
An Italian holiday of love, mystery and midsummer nights' dreams...
Resentful, embittered, and self-pitying, recently divorced, out-of-work actor Benedick Hunter discovers new meaning in his life when he stumbles upon a forgotten book of fairy tales his mother had written and illustrated decades earlier, stories that provide an illuminating glimpse of his own life and the secrets of his past. Reader's Guide available. Reprint. 20,000 first printing.
