Summer 1983, Rimini.

On the beaches and in the nightclubs of the Adriatic Riviera, dazzling with its neon lights and promised pleasures, seven lives intersect.

A young journalist on his first important assignment, determined to unravel a web of political corruption.

A woman searching for her runaway teenage sister - and a new life after the end of her marriage.

A gossip columnist who follows the dramatic unfolding of an international literary prize.

A lonely musician, seeking solace amidst the clubs and discos that throng Rimini's beachfront strip.

A pair of penniless film directors who hatch a harebrained scheme to finance their dreams.

And the owner of a crumbling hotel, whose bad fortunes will drive him to desperate lengths.

An electrifying portrait of the simmering world of grifters, hedonists, dreamers and crooks who set the Italian Riviera of the 1980s alight, Rimini is a masterpiece of contemporary fiction, now translated into English for the first time. ©2020 Giunti Editore S.p.A/Bompiani, Firenze-Milano (P)2026 Hodder & Stoughton Limited
