manogirl 's review for:
Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions
by Mario Giordano
The sense of place in this is marvelous. Auntie Poldi herself is awesome. But this ended up being a very meh read that I was happy to put behind me. I think part of it might be the way its narrated, which is confusing and oftentimes muddies the story for no reason.
Another thing--I wonder if some of the charm of this didn't translate. This is a translation, and for the not-first time, I found myself wondering about the idea that sometimes things really do get lost in translation, and this may be one of those times.
