Did not finish book. Stopped at 51%.

DNF’d at 52% - my mind kept wandering and I was so uninvested in any of these characters or the plot. I’ll have to revisit at a different time/when I’m in the right headspace.

Some of the dialect pronunciation is interesting but overall an enjoyable listen.

I love the Florios. Truly. Auci really brings them to life and throws us into the period, both sociopolitically and emotionally. God, Giovanna and Ignazio tear me apart

I enjoyed this so much after we got past the first 25%. I think I had trouble discerning what was happening and what I was reading but especially by the time I got to the 30-35% mark, I was INVESTED.

Really rich characters and plot that held my attention to the end. For those who enjoyed “Girl with the Louding Voice,” think of this as the next step up from this, in terms of recommendation.

Here’s the thing, I understood every word (and non-word) the poet chose….just not in the order they chose to put them in.

Someone a lot smarter than me is going to have to help me out on this one because if there was a message or meaning? Completely missed it.
