Betsy Lewis is an innocent abroad until she meets Alice Blanders Russo and her much younger lover, Leo Conti. Together they form a triangle of friendship and desire that will turn Betsy's marriage-and her principles-upside down. Add a hilarious excursion to find her Italian "roots" and the rediscovery of an old friend (brilliant, black and gay), and Betsy is on a road to self-discovery filled with unexpected turnings and definitely dangerous curves. Alive with the attractions and contradictions of Rome and the Americans who gathered there in the '60's and '70's, Friends Along the Way explores serious relationships with just the right touch of wild humor, capturing the flavor of love Italian style-rich, robust, and a feast to remember.
