Italian layered tryst with a "who done it"
I liked this book the imagery and symobism, the love stories both old and new were poignant the mystery of finding the sonnets and their source is a good plot device that leads the story well throughout. However, I admit to finding the conspiracies and multiple deaths a bit tiresome an added "bonus" that detracted from the better storyline. If the author had spent more time back in time exploring the romance of those in the poetic theme of the book it would have been much deeper and richer for it. I think this author is on the cusp of discovering her skill as a writer but the book was entertaining and an easy read to drop into an submerge onself for a while. A good effort.
