Lucy has her rigid middle-class life planned out for her, until she visits Florence with her uptight cousin Charlotte, and discovers that her orderly existence is out of balance. His eyes are opened by the unconventional characters he meets at the Bertolini Boarding House: the flamboyant romantic novelist Eleanor Lavish, the Cockney Signora, the curious Mr. Emerson and, above all, his passionate son George.
Lucy finds herself torn between the intensity of life in Italy and the repressed morals of Edwardian England, personified by her terminally bored fiancé Cecil Vyse. Will he ever learn to follow his own heart?
