[edit] Plot summary
Lucy Harmon, an American teenager is arriving in the lush Tuscan countryside to visit family friends residing there. Lucy visited there four years earlier and exchanged a kiss with a handsome Italian boy with whom she hopes to become reacquainted. Lucy's mother has committed suicide since then, and the teenager also hopes to discover the identity of her father, whom her mother hinted was a resident of the villa. Once she arrives, Lucy meets a variety of eccentric visitors, including a dying playwright, a sculptor, a lawyer and several others. Lucy has decided to lose her virginity and becomes an object of intense interest to the men of the household, but the suitor she finally selects is not the initial object of her affection.
