This is the enchanting story of a beautiful, lifelong friendship and laughter centred around the Villa Marchio near Lucca where John Fleming and Hugh Honour, both art historians and the last great British eccentrics, created the perfect life for themselves by nestling in literary Tuscany. Novelist Susanna Johnston first met them when she was twenty one, penniless and at sea in Rome in the 1950s.
