The No. 1 New York Times Bestseller Jess Walter''s Beautiful
Ruins is a gorgeous, glamorous novel set in 1960s Italy and a
modern Hollywood studio. 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. 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. 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.
