Title: A rare combination of humour and erudition, a must read
Review: Fiona Pitt-Kethley has a rare talent for bringing the ruins of antiquity to life, allowing us to see them in a completely new light. Moreover, she is endowed with a superior sense of humour, that includes the most difficult one to achieve, self-addressed humour. Someone might be turned off by her declared interest in casual sex (and probably many people cannot yet accept a woman speaking in such terms), but her adventures are always painted with light and humorous brush strokes. And everybody that has been in the scene, knows that, before you meet a prince, you must kiss many frogs. I have greatly appreciated both her descriptions of antiquities, the classical world and of the few things that are known about the Sibyls, as well as her descriptions of many typical italian males (which, being italian myself, I can certify are very much to the point). A highly recommended book, provided you can read between the lines
