.Seventh Sinner, the
Search: Italy
by: Elizabeth Peters

December 14, 2007
This is the first book in the Jacqueline Kirby series and it is the first book of Elizabeth Peters I have ever read. It's quite old. First published in 1972 and I think you have to take that into account when reading it but I still found it to be really enjoyable. It's basically a murder mystery set in Rome amongst a group of mostly American students. The main character, Jacqueline Kirby, is a librarian who eventually solves the mystery. A good read that deserves to still be in print.

.La Dolce Vita: Sweet Things from the Italian Home Kitchen (Mitchell Beazley Food)
Search: Italy
by: Ursula Ferrigno

September 15, 2005
We have been long awaiting a book of sweet treats since Ursula's Cakes and Puddings sadly went out of print. This new book has exceded out expectations -not only is it choc full of wonderful puddings and cakes but also icecream (Italian ice creams need we say more-roll on summer and the opportunity to try). Our two favourites in the Books for Cooks cafe are the Farmhouse Apple Cake (has customers clamouring for more) and the Positano Chocolate and Almond cake (the addition of lemon zest to a choclate cake is original and inspired). Delicious !

.Eighth Army in Italy 1943-45: The Long Hard Slog
Search: Italy
by: Richard Doherty

October 18, 2007
Typical of this author, this book is exceptionally well written and exhaustively researched. It tells the story of Britain's most famous field army of the 20th century in the Italian campaign that lasted from September 1943 until May 1945. There's no doubt that Doherty knows the British Army of the Second World War as well as anybody and he seems to have a special affinity with the Italian campaign. This book is enlightening on the difficulties of the campaign, so different from that in the Desert where Eighth Army was born, and of the qualities of the generals who commanded the Army. Montgomery was the best known but the author argues that the best of the three commanders in Italy was the last, Sir Richard McCreery. Having read this book I'm ... Read More:

.Lucrezia Borgia: Life, Love and Death in Renaissance Italy
Search: Italy
by: Sarah Bradford

October 27, 2005
I bought this on the basis of the promise of new insights into the character and history of the much-reviled Lucrezia Borgia. Whether or not the re-writing of the popular stories about her actually appears in the book I really couldn't tell you, because after three or four chapters of leaden, unengaging prose I put it down and haven't picked it up again. You'd think it would be difficult to make one of the livelier women of one of the livelier periods of history dull, but after finding myself propping my eyelids open with matchsticks and struggling to reach the end of the page I realised that perhaps this book's most remarkable achievement was just that.
There are other books about the period - I bought Mary Hollingsworth's "The Cardinal's ... Read More:
