The book delves into themes of love, class, and human relationships through its narrative, which is primarily concerned with the protagonist's infatuation and interactions with a young woman named Harriet. Set against the serene backdrop of the Lake Lugano area, the story begins to unravel the complexities of social perceptions and romantic aspirations. The opening of "Idillii spezzati"
introduces the narrator who resides in a quaint villa by Lake Lugano. While fishing on the lake, he encounters Harriet and her family, igniting a blend of admiration and imaginative romantic aspiration in him. His initial irritation at her disdainful remark is quickly overshadowed by his fascination with her beauty and poise. As he offers them a boat ride, the dynamics of their interaction unfold, revealing not only his longing for acceptance but also hints of Harriet's internal conflicts, particularly as her family engages with an enigmatic and dubious pair named the Roberts, foreshadowing deeper entanglements to come.
