A beautiful book that made me desperate to go back to Florence and learn Italian. The setting and characters jump off the page!
Be warned- it is written without punctuation marks, which almost led me to give up on it 10 pages in. I think this meant the early meeting of Ulysses and Evelyn, which is at the centre of the emotional arc of the book, didn’t have as much of an effect on me as it might have done, were I not distracted by the lack of punctuation.
