A review by stacyroth
The Jewels of Paradise by Donna Leon
3.0
I won this book as a FirstRead.
The Jewels of Paradise has an interesting premise, but I felt like the story dragged along for most of the book before speeding up at the end for a hasty conclusion.
I did enjoy the correspondence between Caterina and Cristina; their obvious love for each other and banter were my favorite parts of the book. I also enjoyed the parts of the story with the crazy Romanian.
