Faun
Book Description
This retelling of Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Marble Faun brings the myth, mystery, and romance of the original to a contemporary Italian setting. Captivating characters—one with dark secrets—come together in Rome.
Ex-patriot journalist Kendall encounters Donatello, a young count who has been cast in a new film; Lili, a glamorous gallery owner with a menacing companion; and Hannah, a former college classmate on a musical mission. Donatello falls in love with Lili, and eventually her troubled past puts all the friends in peril.
When both Lili and Hannah disappear after a dramatic death, Kendall visits Donatello at his Tuscan estate to uncover the truth. There he learns that the young count, who strongly resembles a statue of a faun, may actually be one!
