But since this book, this story, is a memoir, I won’t talk more about the events, but rather the way author Babette Fraser Hale has chosen to present them, which she has done beautifully.
Overall, Invitation to Italy is a satisfying summer read, with great characters and a fabulous setting. Goes well with: grilled calamari and prosecco.
At only 193 pages, Shadow of the Witch is a fast read, but a meaty one, and the perfect companion on a rainy weekend.
Overall, this is a deeply satisfying novel with excellent characters and rich storytelling.
From the first page to the last, this book is a tender, honest, period piece that shows the real meaning of “chosen family” and the strength behind such creations.

Oh yours were the best responses yet, MsMeliss. I love Money:: for Nothing (Dire Straits is one of the all-time-best bands) and unhappy – well, your response is positively inspired. Chicago::Cubs and Edward::Bear. . .well, what can one say? I don’t understand Skid Row::Audrey, but then I don’t need to. Looking forward to reading more of your blog in future.
(And I would love to be an amateur cellist, but I haven’t made the effort to do more than admire the music of the instrument and its practitioners yet)
