Title: Wanted: Novelist skilled at describing clandestine love affairs
Review: I don't think this is a very good book. The time period (18th century Venice) is interesting. The topic (two lovers unable to marry because of a difference in social position)is interesting, as are the circumstances (the book is constructed around letters discovered many years later by the author's father). The letters themselves, however, become increasingly dull and repetitious; eventually, I began to skim them and then skip them altogether. The author's prose is weighed down by such extraneous detail, such tiresome step by step accountings of clandestine meetings and so on, that I began to regret that these letters had not fallen into the hands of a novelist. Henry James, to be exact.
