A cheeky interloper, this book. I am currently embarked on a hefty historical novel, which, though admirable, is not a quick read. So when, serendipitously, this book, of which I had read complimentary reviews, presented itself on a bookshelf in Perugia's Feltrinelli (where else?), I was easily tempted. Three days later it was read and I am back to my historical novel.
