The figures of beauty : a novel

Macfarlane, David 1952- (Author).

Summary: A young man travels to Paris in 1968, where a series of unlikely events take him to a tiny village in Italy -- and the one great love of his life. A marble merchant meets a couple on their honeymoon, introducing them to the sensual beauty of Carrara. An Italian woman arrives in Canada to find the father she never knew. A terrible accident in a marble quarry changes the course of a young boy's life and, ultimately, sets in motion each of these stories.
