Margot, with the help of her lover, Woody, writes a script that she thinks will validate her life. Of course, their script is not used, but never mind--happy endings are the best endings for movies, as Margot eventually comes to see. At the former convent in Florence where \"The Sixteen Pleasures\"--now called \"The Italian Lover\"--is being filmed, Margot enters into a drama she never imagined, where her ideas of home, love, art, and aging collide with the imperatives of commerce and the unknowability of other cultures and other people\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"AllEditionsItem-details\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"AllEditionsItem-details-title\"\u003eEdition Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"AllEditionsItem-details-item\"\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"AllEditionsItem-details-item\"\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"AllEditionsItem-details-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"AllEditionsItem-details-item-details\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"El Paso's Thrift Bookstore ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43016409415757,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/3854\/8813\/files\/TheItalianLover.jpg?v=1779316795","url":"https:\/\/eptbookstore.com\/products\/the-italian-lover","provider":"El Paso's Thrift Bookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
