Description: D’Artagnan Books This is a signed first edition in average condition. It was published by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc in 1977. 'Niccolo Tucci celebrates the comic courtship of Mary von Randen, introduced in the previous novel Before My Time, and poor Italian country doctor Leonard Claudi. After not seeing each other for nine years, the couple finally meet again in Rome in 1902. This book tells the story of the nine tumultuous days and nights of love, guilt, misunderstanding, confusion and ecstasy that follow this second encounter. A high-spirited exploration of the attempt to live out fantasies, this novel is a comic and passionate fairy tale, a sly literary sleight of hand, and a moving romance that celebrates the emotional extremes in us all.'
