Some of her most acclaimed work is set there. Collected in this volume are \"The Light in the Piazza, \" which is her signature piece, and six other Italian tales in which her American characters encounter and respond to the mysteries of Italian mores. Her plots are so alluring and enigmantic that the great Boccaccio would have been charmed by their delightful ironies and their sinister contrasts of dark and light. Elizabeth's Spencer's exceptional artisty has merited renown for her as one of America's best writers of short stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven fascinating tales in which Southerners surrender to the mesmerizing spell of Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElizabeth Spencer\u003c\/b\u003e (1921-2019) is author of nine novels, seven collections of short stories, a memoir, and a play.
