Lead Review

• Book: The Villa Triste
• Location: Florence
• Author: Lucretia Grindle

‘Here is the perfect summer holiday read. Long, gripping and beautifully written . . . Grindle vividly evokes Florence as few tourists see it . . . An author’s note tells us that the characters and their exploits are fictional, but inspired by the lives of real people and actual events. Their story certainly convinced and also absorbed me.’ –Literary Review
