Title: A superb and enthralling novel
Review: Prince of the Clouds follows the life of Colonel Carlo Terzo, a brilliant military strategist who has never seen action. His life is utterly changed by the arrival of Emma, a Russian aristocratic, who may not be all that she appears, but who gives his humdrum life passion, meaning, purpose...and, inevitably, tragedy.This beautifully told and written (or translated?) story by Gianni Riotta had me spell-bound from the first to last page. It is populated by colourful and well-delineated characters who linger in the brain long after you have put the book down. I never thought that a novel which spends so much time describing battle strategies could be so engrossing, but Riotta manages to pull it off because he makes it concise and to-the-point, (there are no longueurs in the book) and makes it a key element to both the character of Colonel Carlo Terzo and to the plot. This is a superb book. Read it and enjoy. I can't wait for Riotta's second novel.
