The author in the link below sings Inspector Salvo Montalbano‘s praises.(Well deserved!)The food,the commentary on Sicily‘s politics, mafia, crime,social justice, the sea, the heat, the landscape, city life, relationships, sardonic humor,the imaginative murder mysteries, shocking twist- this is book #2 for me & I have fallen in love.

Although it's less than a third of the length, this is basically a rehash of “Foucault's Pendulum“ with conspiracies to restore Fascism in post WWII Italy playing the role of the Templars and other occult groups in the earlier work. The occultists held my interest much better than the fascists.

Today‘s lunch, broccoli cheddar soup & croutons, coffee, & a book.

Since this is a library book and I can't highlight and annotate to my heart's content, I'm taking notes. One day I'll make it to Italy.

This was a fabulous book. True story of a young Italian boy who helped Jews escape to Switzerland over the Italian Alps and after turning 18 and being drafted became a spy for the Italian resistance.

Just picked this up in the library (took my kiddos to borrow some books). I loved the movie Under the Tuscan Sun (hadn't read the book unfortunately), and Italy is at the top of my bucket list. Normally, I wouldn't borrow a book in large print in case someone else needs it (cause I don't), but it was the only copy they had.

One of the first books from Finnish author and definitely a good choice. Interesting plot, the intrigue is on till the very last pages. Somewhat humane and realistic book in some aspects.
