Book summary

Lucy, a young Englishwoman traveling in Italy, discovers a freer and more intense world than the one she grew up in. Her meeting with George, a sincere and passionate man, challenges her certainties and social conventions.

The benefits of the bilingual method with Line-by-line synced layout

Every line of the original has its translation directly beneath it, at the same height. You never lose your place: your eye drops one line and lands on exactly the sentence it just read.
