VERY interesting. It took me a little while to complete this book, it is like interval training, but with reading. There are pages of fascinating dialog, the subtleties of which require such focus and attention to appreciate, interspersed with reams of narrative description which require much focus and patience to disseminate. But I found the story fascinating. I made the fortuitous mistake of reading bits of the introduction first, which gave away the dénouement, but kept me glued to my seat until the plot unfolded as I knew it would. Amerigo, Charlotte and even Maggie's father are still enigmas to me.
