When Kate Holohan's husband dies suddenly, the extent of his disastrous financial speculation is revealed – together with a mistress and a secret love nest in the small Italian fishing port of Camogli. Unwilling to take on the ocean of debt and deceit she has inherited, Kate abandons her home and teaching job and flees to Italy in the hope of making a new life.
Her new neighbour, Anna Ferrara, is a formidable and mysterious older lady who takes Kate under her wing, teaching her Italian, finding her work, and offering her friendship and more. But it will be Anna's past – as a journalist, writer, former Resistance fighter, and a committed communist – that will also challenge Kate and force her to reconsider her responsibilities back home and the values she truly wants to represent.
Over three seasons, William Wall conjures the colours, tastes, and scents of Liguria, as Empty Bed Blues explores the intersection of friendship, love, language, debt, and politics, all told with humour, sensitivity, and gold-standard storytelling.
