Chronicle Supposing Books Uma Villa em Itália

Quatro pessoas aparentemente sem nada em comum vêem o seu nome mencionado no testamento de uma mulher que não conhecem. Quem foi Beatrice Malaspina e porque exige que compareçam na sua villa em Itália? Enquanto esperam pelas respostas, a magia do lugar começa a exercer os seus efeitos sobre eles: os frescos desbotados, os jardins exuberantes e a magnífica torre medieval não se assemelham a nada que já tenham visto. Aos poucos, quatro pessoas que sempre fizeram os possíveis por esconder os seus problemas descobrem que a mudança – e até mesmo a esperança – é possível. Mas a misteriosa Beatrice tem um segredo que os afectará a todos…

Criticism Of Books Uma Villa em Itália

Not a murder, or a theft, but a question of connection. Why have these four people been named in the will of a woman they have never even heard of?The latest in a series of pleasant 'positive' reads for me, as four people's problems are laid bare and then unknotted.

To be perfectly candid, I originally downloaded this book because it was raining and the cover led me to believe it would be a light-hearted rom com set in sunny Italy.However, what I ended up with was better than that. This story started off confusingly, but soon the main characters were in place and a mystery began to be uncovered, relationships developed and histories revealed. I found the whole thing enormously intriguing and couldn't put it down. I even got to luxuriate in the promised

Prior to picking up this book in an Oxfam Bookshop in the UK I had not even heard of this author. I was attracted to the title because of the Italy in Books - Reading Challenge 2011 that I had heard about early in December for which it seemed a perfect candidate.It certainly was and I thoroughly enjoyed this easy to read and very atmospheric novel set in a grand but neglected villa on the northern Italian coastline of Liguria in the nineteen fifties. The protagonists are four complete strangers

Interesting story, if a tad long winded.

I did enjoy this book, and it re-awakened my desire to visit Italy. The descriptions of the landscape, culture and people are very good and evoke the slow, lazy summer days one dreams of in Italy. I found the writing quite old fashioned but it was set in the 50s and I think the author was trying to make that more authentic. I didn't like the way the main character was always called by her full name 'Beatrice Malaspina', naturally one would call her Beatrice after using the name so many times,

Both 2.5 stars for this and the Frozen Lake. They're very similar in narrative and the way the stories are constructed. The first book I read by her was A Man of Some Repute and then its sequel; I think both are really good within their genre. Not this one, and not the Frozen Lake so much, although it's good for a rainy afternoon. The Villa starts out promising but by the second half, and especially by the end, everything gets so improbable that I felt like a 5 year old, reading a fairy tale. I

It was a fascinating read - although clearly focused on a female target group, I really liked the plot and I have to admire the way Edmondson created an atmosphere and a plot that kept me captivated. I know... there were loads of clichés, a bit too much bragging with classic education and Delia's transformation from a lamb in love ready for slaughter by Theo to a self-determined woman was a bit too fast.. but you can always find something to criticize.In the end what counted for me: it was a
