The first two I read on the American side of the Atlantic in January.

Love Maestra! Reminded me of the Talented Mr. Ripley but with a feminine protagonist.

Loved this book! My favorite kind of historical fiction.

The first book I’ve read in Italy. It’s short, it’s beautifully written, and it shocks. I could not put it down.

In the Garden of the Beasts by Erik Larson. Superb non-fiction on an endlessly fascinating subject.

It just made sense to read Benedict’s book about a Jewish actress during WWII after the Larson book. I enjoyed it. Benedict is so readable.

Another good book recommended to me by friend Cindy. Thanks girl! I liked it because it introduced me to a new line of thought about Tiffany, but it lagged and was too long. IMO it could have been edited down 100 pages at least. Still, I liked it.

I’d love to have new recommendations for books you’re reading. Please like the post and comment with book recs! Thanks!
