This is the story of a novelist and private detective In New York City who buys a deserted Tunisian nightclub in the old Arab quarter of Palermo. She ships 42 cartons of books, her clothes, her bicycle, her paintings, her Venetian chandelier, all she owns across the Atlantic. Her workmen speak a dialect and take naps in the wheelbarrow; she deals with frustration, renovation and the Mafia. The year ends with a birthday party for Oscar Wilde.
