At eighteen, Emma Kenward runs away from her dull Sloane home to try her luck as a painter in Tuscany. Waspish, idealistic and far too clever for her own good, she is at the awkward age when women choose their futures – and their identities.

Once in Italy, Emma blossoms and is taken up by a a mixture of characters including the local Contessa; Sylvia, her volatile American mentor; Dr Evenlode, an Oxford don she’d hoped never to see again; and Lucio, a seductive and anarchic young Italian, as interested in Emma’s body as in her mind.

Emma, ever curious, delves deep and discovers the truth about her new world, her old self – and a gruesome murder.
