It's also the book I find myself most recommending to people, especially those that don't read as much, because it's really approachable and has the fun movie thing going on.

I think sometimes books need time to simmer in your brain before you can fully appreciate them. <br /><br />annieb - I love finding a good book to recommend! <br /><br />Kerry M - Ha, yes I'd definietly rather read it in Italy!<br /><br />Sandy - It is surprisingly hard to describe. It's not that the story is complicated, it's just that the atmosphere is what makes it so good. <br /><br />Diane - I don't think I loved it as much as most people. I enjoyed the atmosphere and stories, but it wasn't a favorite.
