Overview
The year is 1970, and Keith Nearing, a twenty-year-old literature student, is spending his summer vaction in a castle on a mountainside in Italy. The Sexual Revolution is in full-swing - a historical moment of unprecedented opportunity - and Keith and his friends are immediately caught up in its chaotic, ecstatic throes. Yet they soon discover a disturbing truth, there exists a state of liminal purgatory, once described by the Russian thinker Alexander Herzen as \"a pregnant widow.\" As Amis deftly explores the repercussions and consequences of that one summer, he presents us with a precise and poignant portrait of the liberating possibilities, and the haunting consequences, of change.
