Beschreibung

The No. 1 New York Times Bestseller<br><br>Jess Walter's Beautiful Ruins is a gorgeous, glamorous novel set in 1960s Italy and a modern Hollywood studio.<br>The story begins in 1962. Somewhere on a rocky patch of the sun-drenched Italian coastline a young innkeeper, chest-deep in daydreams, looks out over the incandescent waters of the Ligurian Sea and views an apparition: a beautiful woman, a vision in white, approaching him on a boat. She is an American starlet, he soon learns, and she is dying.<br><br>And the story begins again today, half a world away in Hollywood, when an elderly Italian man shows up on a movie studio's back lot searching for the woman he last saw at his hotel fifty years before.<br><br>Gloriously inventive, funny, tender and constantly surprising, Beautiful Ruins is a novel full of fabulous and yet very flawed people, all of them striving towards another sort of life, a future that is both delightful and yet, tantalizingly, seems just out of reach.<br><br>'Magic...A monument to crazy love with a deeply romantic heart' New York Times<br><br>'A novel shot in sparkly Technicolor' Booklist<br><br>'Hilarious and compelling' Esquire<br><br>'Beautiful Ruins is a novel unlike any other you're likely to read this year' Nick Hornby, The Believer
