          <body><![CDATA[Although this is an intelligently written novel I ended up enjoying it more for the wonderfully specific Italian settings (the details that only a resident can bring), rather than the characters themselves.

          <body><![CDATA[This is a wonderful collection of stories which manage to be both lyrical and psychologically astute. I actually preferred the story The Missing Statues more than the title story, the pathos of it was brilliantly evoked.
