Summertime
“All the pent-up yearning of her life was finally fulfilled ... amid the splendor of the world's most fabulous city!”
Middle-aged Ohio secretary Jane Hudson has never found love and has nearly resigned herself to spending the rest of her life alone. But before she does, she uses her savings to finance a summer in romantic Venice, where she finally meets the man of her dreams, the elegant Renato Di Rossi.
