Summer was a season most adored by Louis. Dark and snowy clouds made way for warm rays of golden sunshine that transformed the sky into a happy, adventurous, and romantic blue. Not only was the wonderful change in weather and landscape one of summer's greatest delights, but these warm months were also the time when Louis' family embarked on their annual trip to Northern Italy. Each year for as long as Louis could remember, his father (professor of archaeology) would invite a promising young student to join the family on their Crema Estate in Lombardy for eight months. In the year 1983, a recent graduate from New York by the name of Harry spends the summer studying with Dr. Perlman. Striking up an unusual romance with the professor's son, Harry learns more than just archaeology; he begins to understand love in its purest form, and the many cruel ways of the world that seek to divide it.All Rights Reserved
