Houses remember.
What was a great first line of a famous horror story written at an Italian villa in 1974 is still true when best friends Emily and Chess spend a summer there in 2023. 1974 a few rock musicians plus the girlfriend of one along with her half sister take in the beauty and peaceful surroundings of the villa to create - a book and songs. Emotions and stress play their part along with sex, drugs and rock and roll and at the end one is dead, one goes to prison for his murder and the two sisters leave with a best selling album and horror novel. 2023 Emily is going through a rough divorce and is in a writing slump when her best childhood friend Chess, an influencer and author, calls her with an offer to spend the summer in an Italian villa. It should set off warning bells that this is where a murder took place but instead inspires her to write another kind of book. A fast paced story that is part historical look at 70's rock musicians living a free life, part a celebration of female writing and part murder mystery. Not your peaceful vacation! 3 1/2 stars
