Discovering Iris

I love the area of Florence, Italy and discovered Iris Origo by way of an article on the gardens at La Foce. I really enjoyed reading this book. I thought it was wonderfully paced and gave good detailed descriptions of the different phases of Iris's life. She must have been a very interesting person. I highly recommend.
