I really enjoyed reading this book however I had expected to read about the actual development of the typewriter and that is not what this book is about. All of a sudden the typewriter is just there. Instead this book is about the love between two people that are not free to love one another due to first the marriage of one and then the marriage of the other. The typewriter is used by the contessa to send messages to her love/inventor. The fact that the contessa went blind and continued to "try" and send Turri notes, of which he must have seen a reason that she needed something to help her in her writing endeavors and so the typewriter was born.
