Plot summary
Widowed and eager to leave behind her late husband's family, Lilia Herriton sets out for Monteriano, a hillside town in Tuscany, taking along her young friend Caroline Abbott as a chaperone. Her daughter stays in England with her grandparents. In Italy, Lilia is drawn to the countryside and to Gino Carella, a young villager, and she chooses to remain there. Mrs. Herriton, her straitlaced mother-in-law, disapproves strongly and sends her son Philip to Tuscany to argue for Lilia's return. Philip arrives to find that Lilia and Gino are already married, a match the family regards as unsuitable. He and Caroline go back to England.
