The Dark Heart of Italy

Elizabeth Spencer is captivated by Italy. Some of her most acclaimed work is set there. Collected in this volume are The Light in the Piazza, which is her signature piece, and six other Italian tales in which her American characters encounter and respond to the mysteries of Italian mores. Her plots are so alluring and enigmantic that the great Boccaccio would have been charmed by their delightful ironies and their sinister contrasts of dark and light.
