I really enjoyed this book and the author's delightful depiction of both the characters and the environment. She describes the scenery and atmosphere beautifully and the story is full of amusing asides, especially when describing the characters and their thoughts. Reminded me a little of Jane Austen's witty portrayals. It might be a bit lightweight for some but I found it restful and enjoyable to read.

This is one of my very favourite novels, as it's full of old world charm and subtle comedy with interesting characters. I love the picturesque descriptions of the garden mentioned in the book, as it evokes the most colourful images in my imagination. It is a charming book full of warmth and mirth and lots of glorious April sunshine in Italy...
