From the Back Cover
'The Roman spring is actually Mrs Stone's autumn...Superb...a sharp, witty and moving novel' Chicago Tribune
Mrs Stone changed from a famous, rich American actress to a notorious, very rich American widow. But the transition took years and all that time her youth and legendary beauty slipped away.
So she escapes to Rome. But even the distractions of the Eternal City cannot stop old age wrinkling its way into her life. Frantic, she decides to take a lover; a young and very handsome Italian, being prepared to invest in his body for good return. But the price is too expensive. Not in money, but in her dignity...
'A brilliant accomplishment' Washington Post
'As compelling, as fascinating and as technically skilful as his plays' Publishers Weekly
