Some summers are better left unplanned. A summer in Southern Italy, a beautiful old estate, a family with far too many opinions, and a woman who would rather be absolutely anywhere else. Between the extravagant gatherings, endless preparations, unfamiliar faces, and the occasional family disagreement, Tenuta Belladombra is hardly the quiet summer retreat it first appears to be. And then there’s Vittoria Bellandi: an accomplished architect, impeccably dressed, sharp-tongued, and seemingly incapable of enjoying anything without complaining about it. You arrive expecting a summer of new surroundings and unfamiliar company. You certainly weren’t expecting to find yourself caught up in the Bellandi family’s world, let alone crossing paths with someone as particularly difficult as Vittoria. But then again, some summers are better left unplanned.
