Four bereaved siblings
A water-tight will
Grief, rivalry, and conflicting memories
They reunite for their mother's funeral at their childhood holiday home in Florence, where many memories were born. They bring light suitcases, and hearts heavy with grief, but their minds are loaded with mysteries from childhood. In their fifties, Paola, Nigel, Brod and Suzanna remember holidays in those hills. Youthful memories rarely match; the four recall their mother very differently. The inheritance they hope for is bound up in Nina Larkin's will. The only thing they agree about is its potential for conflict.
A Funeral in Fiesole is told in turn by each of the brothers and sisters. Youthful dreams are revealed, together with hope for the future. Their family problems - which might be solved by Nina's will - threaten to make something simple rather complicated.
