Description
The Roman Spring Of Mrs Stone charts the transformation of Mrs Stone from a famous, rich American actress to a notorious, very wealthy American widow. This transition takes years, during which her youth and legendary beauty gradually slip away.
In search of an escape, she flees to Rome. However, even the distractions of the Eternal City cannot halt the advance of old age as it inexorably makes its mark on her life. In a frantic bid to cling to vitality, she decides to take a lover—a young and exceptionally attractive Italian—investing in his physical allure for some semblance of return.
Yet, the cost proves too great. It is not the financial burden that overwhelms her but rather the toll on her dignity.
