Reviewers everywhere hailed it as a bravissimo performance. Now he turns to his children -- born and bred in Italy -- and their milieu in a small village near Verona.</p> <p>With the splendid eye for detail, character, and intrigue that has brought him acclaim as a novelist, he creates a fascinating portrait of Italian family life, at school, at home, in church, and in the countryside. This panoramic journey winds up with a deliciously seductive evocation of an Italian beach holiday that epitomizes everything that is quintessentially Italian. Here is an insider's Italy, re-created by "one of the most gifted writers of his generation" (Jonathan Yardley, <i>The Washington Post</i>)</p> 114592 1995 Italian Education total:112|5:22|4:52|3:32|2:6|1:0| 112 426 174 18 119017 0380727609 9780380727605 102 18 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171768993m/119017.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/119017.Italian_Education 3 1 false Sat Mar 29 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 27 10:45:34 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 31 09:02:48 -0700 2008 more...]]> 119017 0380727609 9780380727605 102 18 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171768993m/119017.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/119017.Italian_Education 4 0 false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Sun Dec 28 08:13:13 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 28 08:21:53 -0800 2008 more...]]> 119017 0380727609 9780380727605 102 18 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171768993m/119017.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/119017.Italian_Education 4 0 false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 31 21:10:29 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 10 21:57:17 -0700 2008
