Took .5 off only for the fact that it took me 2 tries to get into this book. It didn't immediately draw me in, but once I got the measure of how the story worked I really enjoyed it. 
To be honest, it may be my fault I wasn't immediately drawn in, as I was expecting a more active sort of story about saving art pieces post ww2, but actually this is a beautiful meander through the interconnected lives of the main characters full of love and warmth. After finishing, I turned back and reread a part of  the first section to see the characters again at the start and properly enjoy that bit that I didn't quite fall into before. 

Also, I now want to go to Florence!
