Back in Venice tonight.
pick“Leon‘s novels have opened a window into the private Venice of her citizens,a world of incomparable beauty,high culture,family intimacy,and delicious food. But …it is also beset by shocking crime,intractable social and environmental problems,and far-reaching,insidious corruption.”
Too overwhelming for me to review, so let this quote from book‘s inside cover suffice.#serieslove2025

I love when books are mentioned or discussed in a book I am reading- in this case, these books were clues to one character‘s thoughts & actions, & pointed to the bookish depth of the connections between Brunetti & his wife Paola, both avid readers. #serieslove2025
I have more reading in my future!
I love it when vestiges of past owners appear when reading used books.(B & N bookmark, previous owner‘s inscribed name)The tagged book is from The Barn, a huge sprawling used bookstore recommended by @Amiable , the other was a Thrift book purchase. #usedbooks
pickRich, inexhaustible,copious in historical details, the minutia of life in the streets: wet steps, slippery with seaweed;rich in the brilliant analysis of literary luminaries‘ books;rich in dialogue; rich in social & political history; rich in current events,corruption.
A Roma child, found dead in the waters of the Quay, haunts Brunetti. Just know this: the resolution emulates real life.#serieslove2025 #17
