.Late Season by: Christobel Kent May 27, 2004 This book is two stories, which eventually become entwined into one. One story is about a woman living in a farmhouse in Italy. You find out how her life changed after the war and the memories she tried to forget about a personal tragedy. The other story is about a group of English 'friends' staying in a secluded building in the Italian countryside trying to find answers for the tragic death of someone close to them. Each story has one character from whose point of view we see the proceedings, whose memories we observe and whose communications with the other characters allow us to see how the past tragedies have effected each of these characters as individuals. The descriptions of the surroundings are vivid, whether they are describing ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Late Season |

.A Florentine Revenge by: Christobel Kent August 31, 2006 Fifteen years ago a young English girl in Italy on holiday with her parents is abducted and murdered. Now a man has been found with his throat cut in the same neighbourhood and the old case raises again its head. Sandro, the policeman in charge of the original crime, thinks he knows who was responsible but could never prove it with evidence; and his knowledge and refusal to talk about it has caused his marriage to deteriorate. Celia, then a 21 year old student, remembers the case. Now an English guide in Florence, a job organising a birthday weekend for a rich Englishman and his wife draws her back into the crime which has overshadowed all their lives. This is a superior holiday read (particularly for Italy) as the sense of Florence and ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on A Florentine Revenge |

.The Summer House by: Christobel Kent May 05, 2005 I found this book at a villa we rented in Italy and once opened, I could not put it down. This is a book for anyone who is fascinated by Italy and enjoys a tightly plotted thriller packed with careful detail and deft characterisation. Kent shows a real love of her subject and has great insight into the workings of Genovese life. The Summer House will delight and satisfy anyone who has visits Italy and wants to probe beneath the surface of this most beguiling of cultures. Highly recommended. >>See More Reviews & Details on The Summer House |

.A Party in San Niccolo by: Christobel Kent May 01, 2003 This is not the usual 'sort' of literature that I read, but when it was recommended to me I bought it and have now ordered two more of the author's works. I really enjoyed it and the descriptions of Italy are wonderful. It is a real page turner and some of the human insights are really wonderful. Some of the characters perfectly conjured up real people that I have known in my own life, so the people and places are extremely believable. The plot is also very exciting and kept me guessing. I highly recommend this novel! >>See More Reviews & Details on A Party in San Niccolo |
