Love In Idleness
“This is a bright, amusing story, and for readers who have already succumbed to the charm of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, it will be a special treat. Craig evokes the fey qualities of the well-loved play with many references to characters and situations, and she captures to perfection the quality of a midsummer enchantment.”

Friends and relations of the Noble family have gathered for two weeks in the enchanting Tuscan hills. American academic, Daniel; Ellen, a successful shoe designer; Hermani, a doctor and single mother; and Ivo, trickster and charmer are among the characters who play out their scenes of love, generosity, and hope. But the differing perceptions of the English and Americans add some surprising twists.
