When Laura Fraser's husband leaves her for his high school sweetheart, she impulsively travels to Italy, hoping to escape her sadness. On the island of Ischia, she meets M., an aesthetics professor from Paris with a zest for life. What begins as a casual vacation fling evolves into a passionate, transatlantic love affair, with rendezvous in London, Marrakech, Milan, the Aeolian Islands, and San Francisco. Each encounter immerses them in the richness of their surroundings—sumptuous food and wine, breathtaking scenery, lush gardens, and vibrant streets. With every experience, Laura not only discovers lasting pleasure but also a deeper understanding of her emotional and sexual self. Written with keen observation, an open mind, and a delightful sense of humor, An Italian Affair captures the irresistible honesty of a story that comes from the heart.
