Content Warnings

Graphic: Grief, Abandonment, and Classism

Moderate: Infidelity, Mental illness, and Miscarriage

Minor: Cursing, Medical content, Stalking, and War

Be aware that this book reflects on unfulfilling relationships, self-doubt, the idealization of the Italian country side, and the turmoil of growing old (ageism).
