First half the book seems to be completely unnecessary. I’m glad I finished it though. The end was good. I feel like there’s a second book coming.

I’m sorry but I cannot finish this. Audiobook. Time of death at about 50%. It’s just very poorly written. I’m pulling out my hair.
This is a beautifully written story that follows a man through various stages of his life, set against the backdrop of old Italy. We see him as a young boy learning about life and his family, a young man preparing to step into the family business as a banker, and as an adult grappling with the collapse of his life and how he deals with his losses. Although this wasn’t my favorite genre, I can truly appreciate the skillful writing. I’d recommend it to those who enjoy coming-of-age stories set in historical settings.
