We had hoped to go to Sardinia, but that was out of our price range. Italy has always been a favourite so when we found we could afford go to Capri we were really excited.

Advantages: Lots to see and do Disadvantages: not enough time

She lives with her dog in her in-laws? villa on Capri, her husband works and stays mainly in Naples visiting her only occasionally, the persons she sees most often is her gay Italian neighbour and her cleaning lady. To occupy her mind she decides to write a book, she doesn?t have any special interests or qualifications, but the neglected villa adjoining hers, which once belonged to a well-known foreign aristocrat and paedophile, gives her the idea to write about this man.
In order to get into the mood of the period, the turn of the last but one century, and to learn more about the man she sends an email to the Englishman Simon Parks ...
