Title: Nancy Drew Goes to Florence
Review: I am astonished that so many readers felt Hellenga didn't capture the feminine psyche in his character. As I was reading chapters in Margot's voice, I forgot it was written by a man! As a former Catholic school girl, I thought Hellegna was right on with the sisterly comraderie between Margot and the nuns, their appeal to her. Reading this book was like eating a sumptuous Italian meal; an easily attainable satisfaction. I was also amazed at the factual info about book and art conservation he was able to pack in -- and make compelling. I enjoyed it as a meandering, vicarious adventure ala Nancy Drew and other intrepid female protagonists. Too bad they'll probably ruin it by making it into a film starring Julia Roberts and Bruce Willis with graphic depictions of the Sixteen Pleasures.
