review written by Maggie Perkovic and reviewed live on the bookshow on 28th May 2015
This is the second book
by Montefiore that I have read and also enjoyed.
Her hero is Luca, another
dishy looking man in his forties with a broken
marriage and two little girls
he hardly knows so he goes to Italy and stays
with his mother and father in
their Palazzo Montelimone restored to its
former beauty but full of ghosts
from its murderous past.
Here he sees a beautiful young woman obviously in
mourning for someone,
and who has a strange little boy following her that
only Luca can see!!!
Many characters abound in the Palazzo, Ma, a large
amusing confidante,
an elderly Professor who wants Luca to help him with some
transalations
and other various inhabitants who help Luca to make sense of
his life and
all that it throws at him.Very good and very well written.
