Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions by Mario Giordano
4.0
More like 3.5.
I first picked up this book several years ago in a Barnes & Noble in Naples, Florida while on vacation, purely because the cover caught my eye. I flicked through a few pages, decided I didn't really need to spend all that money on a hardcover, and ultimately put it back on the shelf. I continued to spot the cover in various bookstores over the next few years, but while I always admired it, I never bought it. Finally, last year I ducked into a secondhand bookstore to kill some time before meeting friends for dinner (remember meeting friends for dinner?), and of course, what did I see but this book for a mere $10.
Well, fuck it, I bought it. And I'm so glad that I did. A highly amusing tale of "Auntie Poldi" and her misadventures in the pursuit of justice and romance, with lots of asides on Italian culture. I'm very much looking forward to the next one.
