Customer Reviews

Beautifully written but could have been plotted better.

This is my first read of a Prantera book but I plan to read more. She has a gorgeous, fullblooded writing style; sparse but wonderfully construced language; great sense of dialogue; keen eye for detail; and a great ability to describe Italian people and places. I liked the book very much but wish she had plotted it in a more complex way. I can think of several possible twists that would have made the book more interesting.
