Yambo, a sixty-ish rare book dealer who lives in Milan has suffered a loss of memory; not the kind of memory neurologists call `semantic` (Yambo remembers all about Julius Caesar and can recite every poem he has ever read), but rather his `autobiographical` memory: he no longer knows his own name, doesn`t recognize his wife or his daughters, doesn`t remember anything about his parents or his childhood. His wife, who is at his side as he slowly begins to recover, convinces him to return to his family home in the hills somewhere between Milan and Turin.

She`d expected to look after some boring brat, so Suze is surprised to find that her charge is actually a budding mediator – with a totally hot older brother.

Wilkie Collins was an English novelist, playwright, and short story writer. The Moonstone, generally recognized as the first detective novel, is not only a work of historical importance but also a work that transcends the genre it created, in the artfulness of its plotting, in its compassionate depiction of servants, and in its enlightened resolution of the theme of the British Empire, its crimes and their consequences. Hinging on the theft of an enormous diamond originally stolen from an Indian shrine, this riveting novel features the innovative Sergeant Cuff, the hilarious house steward Gabriel Betteridge, a lovesick housemaid, and a mysterious band of Indian jugglers.
