This book should not be listed under horror.It is an interesting coming-of-age book from a unique perspective. I enjoyed it.

This book pulled me in on the first page & never let go. It will take you to Italy circa 1520. Every sentence is a gem.
That said, if you are easily offended by references to sex, don't read any book with 'courtesan' in the title.

This is the best book of fiction I have read in a long time. The writing is excellent, the story absorbing. Everything about it is much more realistic than most fiction. It shows what it was really like to be a servant back in the days before indoor plumbing and other modern conveniences. Also portrays the clueless perspective of those being served, as they can afford to be oblivious to the realities of the lives of people living in their own homes, and how their own actions affect them.
Much more realistic than Downton Abbey.
Best of all, the main characters are strong, enduring, and admirable.
