But when Nick is transferred to Rome, the two become classic innocents abroad. Fate intervenes when, on a plane journey to join her husband, Mira -- by pure chance -- is given a first-class ticket.

Evoking the grandeur and romance of Italy, and weaving back and forth in time -- between the current lives of Mira, Nick and Zenin, and the tumultuous days of the affair -- 'Lost Hearts In Italy' is a haunting novel of betrayal and passion, about the sacrifices we make in the name of love, and the true cost of desire.
