    <body><![CDATA[Easily the strongest book I've read this year--five novellas, each written in a voice of unbelievable richness and power. I can't think of any other writer who can can play the kinds of tricks with time and consciousness that von Rezzori does here, except maybe James in &quot;The Ambassadors.&quot; ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/32375344">more...</a>]]></body>

It wasn’t dull, the writing was good and the story well set, but it did seem long on monologue. Then I got to the fourth story, “Troth,” which was nothing short of magnificent.
