An ailing American colonel and an Italian countess find a revitalizing love amid despair in post-World War II Venice in this classic novel.
Set in Venice at the close of World War II, Across the River and into the Trees is the bittersweet story of a middle-aged American colonel, scarred by war and in failing health, who finds love with a young Italian countess at the very moment when his life is coming a physical hardship to him.
It is a love so overpowering and spontaneous that it revitalizes the man’s spirit and encourages him to dream of a future, even though he knows that there can be no hope for long.
Spanning a matter of hours, Across the River and into the Trees is tender and moving, yet tragic in the inexorable shadow of what must come.
Now a major motion picture starring Liev Schreiber!
