Life is a whirlwind of public engagements and unquestioning loyalty to the party and to keeping up appearances. In short, Fanny's job description is to look good and to remain silent. But, much as she loves Will and her teenage daughter, Fanny senses in herself a creeping restlessness. Increasingly, she questions what is it exactly that makes up a marriage? And how can she resurrect her career? Could it also be time for a trip back to Italy . from where her family originated. Could it be time for change?
