Hidden Debts: a Memoir of Italy Martin Attwood

Martin Attwood was a lecturer in Italian art and history in Tuscany and Umbria for several years. In this memoir, the author not only writes about phenomena from the past but describes emotional, sometimes violent scenes set in the modern day back streets amid the low life in the ancient city of Perugia. A precocious and nubile American teenager, a former student of his, returns to Italy and that's when the serious trouble begins. It all ends up in a medieval courthouse.
