Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter



This is beach reads # 4 of 5 recommended. 

This novel begins in 1962 on an Italian Coastline, then spans over 50 years to Hollywood and Seattle.

What does a film producer, an actress, an inn-keeper, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton have to do with each other?  You’re gonna have to read it.  A great story and even though it flip-flops between 50 years, you don’t get lost!

Pasquale, Dee Moray and Michael Deane have some explaining to do.  Mostly to themselves as their lives cross, lies surface and are covered and resurface again as each person face their demon. 


Side note: There was a quote at the back of the book by author Milan Kundera.  I just finished re-reading two of his novels!
