Every Time We Say Goodbye by Natalie Jenner (St. Martin's, Paperback)

Rome, 1955. After her new play is savaged by London critics, playwright Vivien Lowry takes a job as a script doctor on a major film shooting at Rome's Cinecittà Studios, at the suggestion of her friend Peggy Guggenheim. Amid rising stars, famous directors and a post-war Italy caught between the liberation of its new cinema and the influence of the Catholic Church, Vivien tries to build a new future while facing the truth about the war and what really happened to her late fiancé. Natalie Jenner, the Oakville, Ontario author of The Jane Austen Society and Bloomsbury Girls, brings back familiar characters from those novels, but this one reads well on its own. A moving historical novel about grief, art and starting over. St. Martin's, international trade paperback edition.

Condition: Trade paperback. Used, with minor scuffing on the edges of the cover and some torn sticker residue on the lower back cover; otherwise like new.
