Venice, my love, I was naive when you first held me in your arms. I was born from you, and you watched me grow, you fed me, you kept me safe. And then I abandoned you and fell into the arms of the West. One of my greatest regrets is leaving you. I am seventy-two now, and I've come back to you.
A story in multiple parts, this book follows Lorenzo as a seventeen year old growing up in Venice, an eighteen year old making the rough switch to America, and a seventy-two year old returning to Venice, the city who, despite the various romances along the way, will always be his first love.
