From the Dust Jacket: "Carroll Baker, the well-known actress and author of the bestselling autobiography, BABY DOLL, as well as the. memoir, TO AFRICA WITH LOVE, debuts as a novelist of wit and storytelling verve in this deliciously, wickedly ironic and erotic tale set in, around and beyond Rome's modern-day la dolce vita. Cross an international HOLLYWOOD WIVES with the fun and perceptive observor's (sic) eye of a contemporary Boccaccio as in BOCCACCIO'S TALES, and one begins to suggest the saga of Madeline Mandell, an American actress, known as the 'Venus,' and hating it, who after too many years a slave in the Hollywood Dream Factory, as well as the victim of a despotic director-husband, decided it's time for arrivederci hubby and Hollywood, buon giorno Roma. Thrust into the klieglight of the Italian film world, as well as its remarkably freewheeling lifestyle, she competes with three other famed international actresses for the central role in 'Boccaccio Volgare,' the major film of the moment, as well as the affections of one Umberta Cassini, a leading man whose amusing secret is that he is even better in person than on the screen."
