Dalla quarta di copertina:

Thirty three year old Bill Fitzgerald is an acclaimed American television foreign correspondent. War weary and exhausted after a long stint in Bosnia, he travels to Venice to meet Francis Xavier Peterson, an old friend and war correspondent for 'Time Magazine'.

Vanessa Stewart is a twenty seven year old glass designer from New York. She's also in Venice, visiting the glass blowing works in Murano.

Whilst at the bar of the Gritti Palace Hotel on the Grand Canal with Frankie, Bill is struck by the dark beauty of a young woman seated alone. The young woman is Vanessa. The three expatriates meet and decide that, as Americans in Venice, they should celebrate Thanksgiving together. And that evening, full of warmth and camaraderie, begins an illicit though fateful love affair.
