The No.1 New York Times Bestseller.Jess Walter\'s Beautiful Ruins is a gorgeous,glamorous novel set in 1960s Italy and a modern Hollywood studio. The story begins in 1962.Somewhere on a rocky patch of the sun-drenched Italian coastline a young innkeeper,chest-deep in daydreams,looks out over the incandescent waters of the Ligurian Sea and views an apparition: a beautiful woman,a vision in white,approaching him on a boat.She is an American starlet,he soon learns,and she is dying. And the story begins again today,half a world away in Hollywood,when an elderly Italian man shows up on a movie studio\'s back lot searching for the woman he last saw at his hotel fifty years before. Gloriously inventive,funny,tender and constantly surprising,Beautiful Ruins is a novel full of fabulous and yet very flawed people,all of them striving towards another sort of life,a future that is both delightful and yet,tantalizingly,seems just out of reach.
