Very textured writing

I very much enjoyed this book for its descriptive and textured writing. It is not unlike Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayers. If you enjoyed that book you will no doubt enjoy this one. Its a slow descriptive story.

Grating

the pronunciation of the Italian words throughout the book is embarrassing. Believe me, everytime the narrators said something in Italian, I would howl in agony!!! The one that hurt the most was Giudecca. Each narrator had his or her own way of distorting the name of that dear little island!!!
