A Room with a View (E.M. Forster)

While Pat is busy reading the travel guides, I’m a reading novel based in Italy. This one is set in Florence and, although I’ve only read four chapters, I’ve already got sticky notes on lots of pages that mention sites to see.

 Skeletons at the Feast (Chris Bohjalian)

This book is quite different from others by the author. Several members of a German family, along with a POW from Scotland, are escaping to the west in advance of the Russian army as they move into Germany at the end of WWII. A Jewish man who has spent the war pretending to be a German joins them along the way. The other character in the book is a woman who has survived the labour camps and is being forced to march to an unknown destination.
