Where Angels Fear to Tread 

’Where Angels Fear to Tread’ is the impassioned story of Lilia Herriton, an English widow who while traveling with her friend Caroline Abbott in Italy falls in love with a much younger Italian man. Put at odds with her dead husbands family over this relationship, which they see as a betrayal to their sons memory, Lilia is torn between an idealized and romantic Italian culture and the more conservative morals and values of English society.
