A proposito di questo titolo

 A house divided against itself cannot stand. So proclaimed Abraham Lincoln in 1858. In this captivating tale, we meet the irascible Mr. Waring, a cantankerous English ex-patriot entrenched in the picturesque landscapes of Italy alongside his enchanting daughter, Frances. Long before the influx of tourists and hotels, Mr. Waring cherished his solitude, harboring deep resentment for the gawkers that now invade his peaceful existence, many of whom are fellow countrymen. Frances, though petite and charming, unexpectedly navigates her role as the mistress of the house with a mix of grace and naivety, having little recollection of her English roots and lacking the guidance of her peers. However, beneath her sweet facade lies a complexity that emerges when an unexpected visitor disrupts their lives.
