The story unfolds through Jae’s recollection of a summer spent at their uncle’s house in Siena, Italy. Interweaving two storylines, it delves into Jae’s experiences with quirky family members, including the grieving Italian aunt and the mysterious Orlando, a skilled pianist with a haunting past. Orlando’s once-blissful life takes a melancholic turn, revealed gradually through Jae’s encounters and Giulia’s storytelling. The narrative takes a chilling turn when Jae, seated at Orlando’s grand piano, hears unexplained music. Blending an engaging but unreliable narrator, ghostly elements, and gothic undertones, ‘Orlando in a Glimpse’ offers a haunting tale set against the sunny backdrop of a summer in Siena.
