Up At The Villa by W. Somerset Maugham
In 1930s Tuscany, a young widow staying at a villa and considering a safe, advantageous marriage makes a compassionate but impulsive choice that entangles her with a desperate refugee, resulting in a sudden death and a perilous cover-up. With the help of a charming but disreputable acquaintance, she navigates the moral and social fallout, confronting the tension between respectability and desire and ultimately deciding what sort of life—and partner—she truly wants.
