Woodhouse, Sarah
Meeting Lily
Paperback; Good
Having recently converted the shabby-genteel Villa Giulia into a small hotel, 36-year-old English widow Nan Mortimer is confronted by crisis when an elderly guest, Major Edward Baghot, dies in his bed; she thereafter experiences an upheaval of all she thought settled and safe. The Major's dotty wife goes for a walk on the morning of his death. Then she stays on paying no bills and secreting picnic lunches to give to illicit young lovers Graziella, a 16-year-old convent-raised serving maid, and Fr. Michele, an earnest village priest whose father was shot for betraying partisans in the war. Childless Nan is mother hen to this errant brood, and her usually reliable confidant, Dr. Fortuno, is often no help as he throws himself into the folly of an affair with a married hotel guest. The removal of Molly is up to her cigar-smoking, spinster sister, Lily, whose continually postponed arrival from England propels this fine, gently tragicomic tale.
