Disclaimer---I am definitely someone who enjoys an unrealistic happy ending, and since this book has a realistic ending, I gave it one less star. ;-)
but it was a good ending, appropriate, fair..not everything tied up in a neat bow.
And a page turner!!! The way the author went back and forward from flashback to present, etc, kept me saying "one more chapter one more chapter", when I should have been turning out the light.
And as someone who has lived in Italy and has an affinity for anything that takes me back, I ADORED all the italian language and references (hence why this book caught my eye in the first place).
Am very tempted to check out this guy's other work.
Do yourself a favor and read his "about the book" at the end, entitled something like "the galley slaves"....intriguing and fun insight...
