Summary
The Hotel Portofino has only been open a few weeks, but already the problems are mounting for its co-proprietor and moving spirit, Bella Ainsworth: she's short of staff and ready money; her guests, including the imperious Lady Latchmere, are demanding and hard-to-please; and she's being targeted by a scheming and corrupt local politician, Signor Danioni, who threatens to drag her into the red-hot political cauldron of Mussolini's Italy. The Hotel demands all of Bella's resources, energy, and focus, but she's being pulled into other directions, as she tries to coax her wounded son, Lucian, and her widowed daughter, Alice, towards health and happiness in the traumatic aftermath of WWI. And Bella's aristocratic but caddish husband, Cecil, is obsessed with arranging an advantageous marriage for Lucian to secure the family's estate, and with finding the money to fund his dilettante lifestyle. How far will Cecil go to secure his wealth and status?
