This quickly became one of my favorite books of all time. It’s easygoing, lighthearted and entertaining with a solid collection of memorable quotes (I’m at the end of my tether, truth be told). The plot was subtle yet compelling, and while the ending was shocking, it still felt satisfactory. I’m looking forward to challenging my Italian and reading the author’s other works.
