An American woman discovers the magic of Tuscany in this delightful novel from the acclaimed author of "The Last Time I Saw Paris."
"Twin sisters, 38 years old, each attractive and charming, one quiet and cool, the other loud and vivacious.

Did the jealous sister do it? Or, was it someone else entirely."--
