Now she has become the poster-girl for the Deep Blues, a mystical and nutty environmental group.

Gerald pines for greater things, however, and would prefer to write the memoires of Max Christ, the celebrated conductor. While he schemes to land this unattainable catch, he muses hilariously and viciously on the world of which he is such an unwilling part, looking out from his Tuscan hilltop and pining for his neighbour Marta, offspring of a crime family from Voynovia, who disappeared one day into thin air.
