Best novel I've read in a long time!

Format: Paperback
It has been some time since I've read a book that moved me in all the ways great writing should, but Pamela Allegretto nailed it. Complex in her method of storytelling, blending historical facts and events with her well-developed characters, even from page one I was hooked. If you love Italy and history, you will love this novel. All of your senses get involved: The sights, sounds, flavors, and tactile narrative are beautiful and compelling, but it is the emotional connection with the characters that couldn't be denied. As a mature man, I'll only admit to having teared up half a dozen times; that is the level of immersion you'll discover. No spoilers here, but absolutely recommend. The author was also very thoughtful in the production of the novel: a bit larger font and cream-colored pages, so very easy to read without tiring the eyes. Thank you Ms. Allegretto!
