Welcome to Litsy!

This is a remarkable book and incredibly well researched. The author vividly describes centuries of Naples' tumultuous history of art, mythology, social and political upheaval, and violent revolution, interspersed with his own anecdotes of living in the city.

The plot? Where? The Bishop‘s Bedroom? What about it? Did I miss something? Most likely. Do I want to go meandering with these two misogynistic weirdos again? I‘m good, thanks. I literally grabbed this at the library because of the cover and the blurb on the back and boy did that pay off in no way whatsoever.

Booklover's dream

This nonfiction book, which depicts daily life in a small Italian village during WWII, is quiet but moving. And important.

Op shop finds after ballet from a while back.

Booked a holiday. Bought a book. Having an absolutely banging Sunday.

This is a complex and layered story featuring a fairly remarkable character in Franca, or the maestra of this remote Italian village. The meandering pace is the only thing keeping me from really loving this book. I picked it up, put it down, picked it up, put it down so many times. But, I kept at it and was rewarded with a story that unfolded into one of the most interesting tales I‘ve read this summer.

This one was recommended to me, because I like historical.

I added it to the TBR.
