Love in Idleness

In her delightful reimagining of A Midsummer’s Night Dream Amanda Craig slyly serves up a witty cross-cultural farce a modern-day tale of love and lies set against the magical landscape of Tuscany. When Theo a workaholic lawyer his English wife Polly and their two children rent an idyllic Italian villa they expect a relaxing summer holiday together. Polly with her loved ones’ romantic interests at heart has invited an eccentric mix of friends and family along--including three eligible bachelors a former model an Indian-British divorcee with a young son and her own appalling mother-in-law. They soon discover the Casa Luna is a strange enchanted place where people find their heart's desire—but at a price. Everyone falls in love though not with the people they expect and the results are surprising and hilarious.
