The narrative captures Iris Origo's early life, marked by privilege and tragedy. Following her father's untimely death, her mother relocated them to Fiesole, fostering a close bond with art historian Bernard Berenson. Origo's journey through high society and her eventual fulfillment in restoring a desolate Italian estate reveal her evolution as a writer. Through vivid portraits of her parents, cherished places, and the transformative power of literature, she reflects on the complexities of memory and the art of writing, creating a deeply moving autobiographical account.
