The story
A group of cultured expatriate English women – the Scorpioni – meet for tea every afternoon in Florence, Italy in 1935.
Elsa Morganthal, a rich young American widow whom Scorpioni matron Lady Hester Random barely tolerates, sets up a financial trust for Luca, as she was fond of his mother and still owes money for her dressmaking services.
Five years later, Luca plans to study art in Florence with Elsa's trust fund but finds that most British nationals are fleeing in anticipation of Mussolini's declaration of war on Great Britain.
