I had a great laugh reading this book!
I had a great laugh reading this book!
The author has produced a wonderful portrait of local Venetians and British and American expatriates using real life characters.
Excellently documented book, well researched. Measured journalistic approach. Wonderful humour. Had a fantastic time reading it during my Christmas break.
