About this product
Product Information
BUSTLE BEST BOOK OF THE WEEK PICK NAMED A BOOKSHOP.ORG RECOMMENDED READING OF THE SEASON In this charming, deeply atmospheric novel set against the Amalfi Coast of the 1950s, two women form an intense and lasting friendship that embodies the paradoxes of Italian society. Inspired by her own adventurous, unconventional life, actress and writer Goliarda Sapienza's recently rediscovered novel takes the reader to the sun-drenched town of Positano in southern Italy. There, while working on a film, Goliarda encounters the captivating Erica, a beautiful widow called "Princess" by the locals, who has been the object of much speculation. As the two women grow closer in spite of their different personalities, they gradually reveal more about their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and the ghosts from their pasts that continue to hang over them. Writing the story of their transformative friendship thirty years later, Goliarda offers a profound reflection on love in its many forms, and opens a window onto an enchanting time and place that lingers in the mind. And this unlikely bond, forged between a leftist idealist and a traditional aristocrat, acts as a microcosm of Italy, illuminating its complex, competing impulses.

Reviews
"An illuminating story of female friendship, Meeting in Positano has it all: colorful characters, a thought-provoking narrative, and the spectacular setting of the Amalfi Coast. Sapienza's delightful novel is a small gem and not to be missed!" --Anita Abriel, internationally bestselling author of Lana's War "Set amid the landscape of the enchanting, evolving Amalfi coast, Meeting in Positano pays homage to the mystifying and impenetrable affection between two women. It is like reading a love letter from the past, one rife with the truths about friendship that most of us wouldn't dare utter aloud: desire, envy, nostalgia, adoration. Complex and evocative, this story is not to be missed." --Sarah Penner, author of The Lost Apothecary Praise for The Art of Joy : "A triumphant account of a resourceful woman...carefree and wise...it's worth emulating: it's a novel about how to live instead of how not to, and we could use more of those." -- The New Yorker " The Art of Joy colonizes your attention...Sapienza's prose is breathless throughout, urgent, driven forward by the twin engines of sex and history...It's a feast delivered on small plates." --NPR "From its explosive, disturbing opening to the quiet cadences of its lyrical close, [ The Art of Joy ] is crammed with passion, ideas, adventure, and mystery." -- San Francisco Chronicle, "Set amid the landscape of the enchanting, evolving Amalfi coast, Meeting in Positano pays homage to the mystifying and impenetrable affection between two women.

Set on the magical Amalfi Coast, it is full of beauty and yearning, secrets and art. The friendship at the novel's center is so compelling, and ultimately heartbreaking, I felt I was swept along with Goliarda and Erica, by the dazzling sea, through the Positano nights." --Luanne Rice, New York Times bestselling author of The Shadow Box "An illuminating story of female friendship, Meeting in Positano has it all: colorful characters, a thought-provoking narrative, and the spectacular setting of the Amalfi Coast. Sapienza's delightful novel is a small gem and not to be missed!" --Anita Abriel, internationally bestselling author of Lana's War "Set amid the landscape of the enchanting, evolving Amalfi coast, Meeting in Positano pays homage to the mystifying and impenetrable affection between two women.

Complex and evocative, this story is not to be missed." --Sarah Penner, author of The Lost Apothecary "Goliarda Sapienza's Meeting in Positano is a gorgeously written meditation on female friendship and human connection, as well as a lyrical ode to Positano, one of the most enchanting places in the world. This lovely book, full of joy, nostalgia, and tragedy, is not to be missed." --Alyssa Palombo, author of The Borgia Confessions Praise for The Art of Joy : "A triumphant account of a resourceful woman...carefree and wise...it's worth emulating: it's a novel about how to live instead of how not to, and we could use more of those." -- The New Yorker " The Art of Joy colonizes your attention...Sapienza's prose is breathless throughout, urgent, driven forward by the twin engines of sex and history...It's a feast delivered on small plates." --NPR "From its explosive, disturbing opening to the quiet cadences of its lyrical close, [ The Art of Joy ] is crammed with passion, ideas, adventure, and mystery." -- San Francisco Chronicle

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
